Detailed Description

A class to represent a 2D line segment by a point couple.

Member Function Documentation

template<class T >

double stira::common::LineSegment< T >::GetDistanceToLine	(	Point< T >	p,
		bool	isSegment = `false`
	)

gets distance of point p to the line

Parameters

p	point to get distance of
isSegment	flag if we compute the distance to the line defined by the points, or just the line segment between the points if isSegment is true, we compute the distance of the point to the nearest point of the line segment (which is limited by the two points) false we compute the distance to the (infinitely long) line that is defined by the two points.
