SignedDistanceTo(GeoPoint2)

Calculates the distance from this rectangle to a point, negative for a point within it.

public double SignedDistanceTo(GeoPoint2 point)

Parameters

point GeoPoint2

Returns

double

Remarks

The magnitude is the distance to the outline, whichever side of it the point is on, and the sign says which side: negative inside, nought on it, positive outside. DistanceTo(GeoPoint2) reads this rectangle as filled and so answers nothing at all for a point inside, which is the one place the two part company.

SignedDistanceTo(GeoPoint2, Tolerance)

Calculates the distance from this rectangle to a point, negative for a point within it, within a tolerance.

public double SignedDistanceTo(GeoPoint2 point, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

point GeoPoint2
tolerance Tolerance

Returns

double
