PathToLineDistance

Computes the smallest distance between a path and a line.

Syntax

void avl::PathToLineDistance
(
	const avl::Path& inPath,
	const avl::Line2D& inLine,
	float inResolution,
	float& outDistance,
	atl::Optional<avl::Segment2D&> outConnectingSegment = atl::NIL
)

Parameters

	Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
	inPath	const Path&			Input path
	inLine	const Line2D&			Input line
	inResolution	float	0.0 -	1.0f	Number of real-world units per one pixel
	outDistance	float&			Minimal distance between input path and input line
	outConnectingSegment	Optional<Segment2D&>		NIL	Segment connecting input path and input line having minimal length

Optional Outputs

The computation of following outputs can be switched off by passing value atl::NIL to these parameters: outConnectingSegment.
