GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine2)

Gets the shortest segment joining this curved chain to a segment.

public GeoLine2 GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine2 line)

Parameters

line GeoLine2

Returns

GeoLine2

Remarks

Both ends sit on a boundary, so a shape lying wholly inside this one still reports the gap out to the outline rather than nothing at all, where DistanceTo(GeoPolygon2) reads a closed shape as a filled region and answers nothing. The answer is a segment joining the two shapes; for a piece of this one, see GetClosestEdge(GeoLine2).
