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