util.distPointLineSeg R Documentation
distPointLineSeg calculates the distance between a point and a line segment
defined by two points
Description
The function projects the point onto the line and returns the perpendicular distance
between the point and the line if the projection fall within the line segment.
If the projection falls outside the line segments it returns the closest distance between
the point and the closest end segment point
Usage
util.distPointLineSeg(xp, yp, x1, y1, x2, y2)
Arguments
xp
the x coordinate of the point
yp
the y coordinate of the point
x1
the x coordinate of the end point of the line
y1
the y coordinate of the end point of the line
x2
the x coordinate of the other end point of the line
y2
the y coordinate of the other end point of the line
Value
the closest distance between the point and the line segment
