◆ pointToLinePerpendicular()

static double geos::algorithm::Distance::pointToLinePerpendicular ( const geom::CoordinateXY &  p,
const geom::CoordinateXY &  A,
const geom::CoordinateXY &  B 
)
static

Computes the perpendicular distance from a point p to the (infinite) line containing the points AB

Parameters
pthe point to compute the distance for
Aone point of the line
Banother point of the line (must be different to A)
Returns
the distance from p to line AB

◆ pointToSegment()

static double geos::algorithm::Distance::pointToSegment ( const geom::CoordinateXY &  p,
const geom::CoordinateXY &  A,
const geom::CoordinateXY &  B 
)
static

Computes the distance from a point p to a line segment AB

Note: NON-ROBUST!

Parameters
pthe point to compute the distance for
Aone point of the line
Banother point of the line (must be different to A)
Returns
the distance from p to line segment AB

◆ pointToSegmentString()

static double geos::algorithm::Distance::pointToSegmentString ( const geom::CoordinateXY &  p,
const geom::CoordinateSequence seq 
)
static

Computes the distance from a point to a sequence of line segments.

Parameters
pa point
seqa sequence of contiguous line segments defined by their vertices
Returns
the minimum distance between the point and the line segments

◆ segmentToSegment()

static double geos::algorithm::Distance::segmentToSegment ( const geom::CoordinateXY &  A,
const geom::CoordinateXY &  B,
const geom::CoordinateXY &  C,
const geom::CoordinateXY &  D 
)
static

Computes the distance from a line segment AB to a line segment CD

Note: NON-ROBUST!

Parameters
Aa point of one line
Bthe second point of (must be different to A)
Cone point of the line
Danother point of the line (must be different to A)
