Change rect destination in XNA - graphics

hy guys, im newbie and im confused with XNA rectangle
I draw something and rotate it, but the rectangle destination its still same, how to change the destination rectangle so i can check the collision with intersect method

You cannot rotate a Rectangle.
Instead, what you want to do is a Bounding Box. It will not provide you with pixel perfect collision, but it will provide you with a quick intersect check that could be paired with a more refined collision check.
Refer to this question on how to create a Bounding Box:

Make controls of multiple objects visible

I try to implement a rotation around a movable rotation point:
I got so far:
here's some snipped
https://jsfiddle.net/Lwg6fkhs/60/
In the example you can select the blue rotation point and the red rect will rotate around that point. You can also move the rotation point somewhere else and the rect will continue rotating around that point.
At the moment the resize controls are only visible if the red rectangle is focused or the rotate control is visible when the rotation point is focused. I would like to make all controls (grab handles) of the red rectangle and the rotation rectangle visible at the same time. Is that possible? Or is there another way to implement that behavior with less or similar amount of code by modifying the behavior of the red rectangles rotation control?

What is the Godot way to define (and refer) custom rectangle areas?

I'm coming from Phaser + Tiled world, where, if I need some rectangle area in game world (like Player's area, spawning area, and so on) I can just draw rectangle in Tiled and then get it coordinates from Phaser.js and use as I need. And I seem to stuck to do similar things in Godot.
For some of tasks I can use Area2D with rectangle inside and collision events. But it is not always enough.
How can I just define rectangle on screen, and get its coordinates? For Sprite object and for Node2D I cannot get bounding rectangle. I can use Area2D + Rectangle and refer to rectangle's 'extent' property to get width/height, but that seems to be overhead for me - Area2D is used in collision detection.
What can I do in general? And what could be done in Godot for following scenarios?
Camera limits. I have Sprite with background gradient which I scale to needed world size, and I'd like to set camera limits on that Sprite's width/height.
Hero movement limits. Half of world is not accessible for player, so any move to x > MIDDLE shall be denied. I can just setup constant MIDDLE in the code, but I'd like to draw allowed area as rectangle and refer to it coordinates.
Spawn area. Mark some place of world (that could be just point, not rectangle) where new objects shall be created by code.
You could use the Rect2 class in a script to define custom rectangles. You can then use it to check whether it contains a Vector2 or another Rect2.

Clipping a polygon to only draw within a circle in Love2D

I'm trying to draw a circle with filled, randomly generated polygons drawn on top of it, but I can't work out how to make it so that the polygons are only drawn on top of the circle.
Here's a mockup as an example:
I have a achieved the random polygons drawn on a circle, using the love.graphics.polygon() function with a set of randomly generated points, but I'm looking for a way of clipping them when they're drawn so that they're only filled in on top of the circle.
Here's what I've actually got so far:
So, my question is: is there a function that I can call in the love.draw function that clips parts of the polygon drawn outside of a range, or is it going to be harder to fix than that?
Thanks in advance!
It turns out that I could have just spent a minute looking at the love.graphics documentation. Anyway, the love.graphics.stencil() function and its counterpart love.graphics.setStencilTest() are just what I needed.
You can pass the draw function for the circle to the love.graphics.stencil() function, and the using the setStencilTest(), you can make it not draw pixels outside that circle function. The documentation has some good examples.

How to draw a cylinder geometry using webgl?

I need to draw a cylinder geometry using webgl, but don't know how to realize it. The parameters may be radius,subdivisions and two central point of bottom faces.Any ideas will be appreciated,thanks~
Fundamentally, you will build it with triangles. It would be easiest to think of it more as an "n-sided" prism. The top and bottom faces will need to be made of triangle "fans", where each triangle shares one point in the center.
You will need to use simple math (including trigonometry) to calculate the locations of the points for each triangle.
If you don't know how to draw triangles with WebGL, check out NeHe's excellent WebGL guide at learningwebgl.com.

How to draw the heightmap onto the screen?

I'm using DirectX10 to simulate a water surface, and I'm now with a height map,which is a 2D array of the heights(y) at the points (x,z). But to draw it on the screen, I must turn it into a mesh or have a index to draw triangle topology.
But the data is too large to do it manually. Are there any methods for me to draw it on the screen. I hope it's easy to implement. If there is function included in DirectX10 which can make it, the it's the best one for me.
Create a mesh that format a grid of squares (each made of two triangles) and set all vertices y = 0. In the vertex shader sample the heightmap and add the value stored in the heightmap to the y of the vertice.
This might help you.
P.S: If the area you want it to cover is too big you should take a look at terrain LOD techniques (should work the same for water).
I'm sure you can make a mesh out of it. I doubt you can generate the heightmap for a water surface that is too large to "meshify".
Why are you looking at Diamond square. For a 512x512 heightmap all you need to do is define a set of point and then generate the triangles for it. Its really very simple.
