Calculates distance of a point from a line that is infinite long.
PointDistanceFromInfiniteLine(Parameters
- pt
- The point to calculate the distance from the line
Returns
- LineF
- Line definition (defines direction, line is then calculated as infinite long in both directions)
Remarks
In this picture then red point is within the scope of the line and shortest distance from the line is calculated at straight angle. For the blue point then it can be seen that the line gets extended and then shortest distance is calculated at straight angle.
