GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine2)

Gets the shortest segment joining the edge to a straight segment.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine2 line)

Parameters

line GeoLine2

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine2, Tolerance)

Gets the shortest segment joining the edge to a straight segment, within a tolerance.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine2 line, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

line GeoLine2

tolerance Tolerance

Returns

GeoLine2

A segment leaving this edge and landing on line, of no length at all where the two cross.

GetShortestLineTo(GeoEdge2)

Gets the shortest segment joining the edge to another edge.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoEdge2 other)

Parameters

other GeoEdge2

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoEdge2, Tolerance)

Gets the shortest segment joining the edge to another edge, within a tolerance.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoEdge2 other, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

other GeoEdge2

tolerance Tolerance

Returns

GeoLine2

Remarks

Four cases, as with the distance: segment to segment, segment to arc either way round, and arc to arc. Where the arc is the second of the two the answer is turned round, so the segment always leaves this edge.

GetShortestLineTo(GeoCircle2)

Gets the shortest segment joining the edge to a circle.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoCircle2 circle)

Parameters

circle GeoCircle2

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoCircle2, Tolerance)

Gets the shortest segment joining the edge to a circle, within a tolerance.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoCircle2 circle, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

circle GeoCircle2

tolerance Tolerance

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoArc2)

Gets the shortest segment joining the edge to an arc.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoArc2 arc)

Parameters

arc GeoArc2

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoArc2, Tolerance)

Gets the shortest segment joining the edge to an arc, within a tolerance.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoArc2 arc, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

arc GeoArc2

tolerance Tolerance

Returns

GeoLine2

Remarks

The arc is taken as it is rather than as an edge, so one sweeping a whole turn is joined to as well.

GetShortestLineTo(GeoFace2)

Gets the shortest segment leaving this edge and landing on a face.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoFace2 face)

Parameters

face GeoFace2

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoFace2, Tolerance)

Gets the shortest segment leaving this edge and landing on a face, within a tolerance.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoFace2 face, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

face GeoFace2

tolerance Tolerance

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoPolygon2)

Gets the shortest segment leaving this edge and landing on a polygon.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoPolygon2 poly)

Parameters

poly GeoPolygon2

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoPolygon2, Tolerance)

Gets the shortest segment leaving this edge and landing on a polygon, within a tolerance.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoPolygon2 poly, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

poly GeoPolygon2

tolerance Tolerance

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoPolygonArc2)

Gets the shortest segment leaving this edge and landing on a curved loop.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoPolygonArc2 loop)

Parameters

loop GeoPolygonArc2

Returns

GeoLine2

GetShortestLineTo(GeoPolygonArc2, Tolerance)
