Header: AVL.h
Namespace: avl
Module: FoundationLite

Measures the signed distance between a point and a line with direction.

Syntax

C++
C#
 
void avl::PointToLineDistance_Oriented
(
	const avl::Point2D& inPoint,
	const avl::Segment2D& inLineSection,
	float inResolution,
	float& outDistance,
	atl::Optional<avl::Segment2D&> outConnectingSegment = atl::NIL
)

Parameters

Name Type Range Default Description
Input value inPoint const Point2D&
Input value inLineSection const Segment2D&
Input value inResolution float 0.0 - 1.0f Number of real-world units per one pixel
Output value outDistance float&
Output value outConnectingSegment Optional<Segment2D&> NIL

Optional Outputs

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