GetShortestLineTo(GeoTriangle3)

Gets the shortest segment joining this triangle to another, using the default tolerance.

public GeoLine3 GetShortestLineTo(GeoTriangle3 other)

Parameters

other GeoTriangle3

Returns

GeoLine3

Remarks

The segment leaves this triangle and lands on the other triangle, so its length is the clearance between them and nought where they touch.

GetShortestLineTo(GeoTriangle3, Tolerance)

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

public GeoLine3 GetShortestLineTo(GeoTriangle3 other, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

other GeoTriangle3

tolerance Tolerance

Returns

GeoLine3

Remarks

The segment leaves this triangle and lands on the other triangle, so its length is the clearance between them and nought where they touch.

GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine3)

Gets the shortest segment joining this triangle to a segment, using the default tolerance.

public GeoLine3 GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine3 line)

Parameters

line GeoLine3

Returns

GeoLine3

Remarks

The segment leaves this triangle and lands on the segment, so its length is the clearance between them and nought where they touch.

GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine3, Tolerance)

Gets the shortest segment joining this triangle to a segment, within a tolerance.
