AVL.PathToPointDistance Method

Computes the smallest distance between a path and a point.

Namespace:	AvlNet
Assembly:	AVL.NET.dll

Syntax

public static void PathToPointDistance(
	AvlNet.Point2D inPoint,
	AvlNet.Path inPath,
	float inResolution,
	out float outDistance,
	out AvlNet.Segment2D outConnectingSegment
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
inPoint	AvlNet.Point2D			Input point.
inPath	AvlNet.Path			Input path.
inResolution	float	<0.0f, INF>	1.0f	Default value: 1.0f.
outDistance	float			Minimal distance between input path and input point.
outConnectingSegment	AvlNet.Segment2D			Segment connecting input path and input point having minimal length

Description

The operation computes the minimal distance between the inPoint and inPath and, additionally, the outConnectingSegment segment corresponding to the result.

Examples

The PathToPointDistance run on the sample data produces outDistance = 75.373.
