Calculate Euclidean distance between a point and a finite line segment.

Namespace:  AForge.Math.Geometry
Assembly:  AForge.Math (in AForge.Math.dll) Version: 2.2.5.0 (2.2.5.0)

Syntax

C#
public float DistanceToPoint(
	Point point
)

Parameters

point
Type: AForge..::.Point
The point to calculate the distance to.

Return Value

Returns the Euclidean distance between this line segment and the specified point. Unlike DistanceToPoint(Point), this returns the distance from the finite segment. (0,0) is 5 units from the segment (0,5)-(0,8), but is 0 units from the line through those points.
