Polygon splitting

This script is used for splitting **convex** polygons.

-- Usage:
--[[
table_of_polygons = polygoncut(cut_vertices,polygon_vertices)

polygons = polygoncut({x1,y1,x2,y2},{px,py,px1,py1,px2,py2,...})

for i,polygon in ipairs(polygons) do
   love.graphics.polygon('fill',unpack(polygon))
end
--]]
local insert= table.insert

    return dx*dy2-dy*dx2
end
