So I have pretty aoying problem which I find hard to understand and fix. I want to have section between two areas in HTML5 canvas - one is a rectangle the other one is complex figure made with lines (pictures below):
The red figure is the complex area and the below light blue is rectangle which has part of it on the red figure.
I want to visualize only the area which has both the read and the blue area (the pink-ish color at the center).
The best I can do is this but is pretty inaccurate because the figure is distorted somehow.
I really don't know what seems to be the problem. Here is the code for the FIRST and SECOND pictures:
var canvas=document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx=canvas.getContext("2d");
var pts = [
