Returns the Euclidean distance between this line segment and the specified point. Unlike DistanceToPoint(Point), this returns the distance from the finite segment. (0,0) is 5 units from the segment (0,5)-(0,8), but is 0 units from the line through those points.
Parameters
- point
- Type: AccordPoint
The point to calculate the distance to.
Return Value
Type: SingleReturns the Euclidean distance between this line segment and the specified point. Unlike DistanceToPoint(Point), this returns the distance from the finite segment. (0,0) is 5 units from the segment (0,5)-(0,8), but is 0 units from the line through those points.
