strategy::distance::cross_track

Strategy functor for distance point to segment calculation.

Description

Class which calculates the distance of a point to a segment, using latlong points

Synopsis

template<typename Point, typename PointOfSegment, typename CalculationType, typename Strategy>
class strategy::distance::cross_track
{
  // ...
};

Template parameter(s)

Parameter

Default

Description

typename Point

point type

typename PointOfSegment

Point

segment point type

typename CalculationType

void

numeric type for calculation (e.g. high precision); if void then it is extracted automatically from the coordinate type and (if necessary) promoted to floating point

typename Strategy

typename services::default_strategy<point_tag, Point>::type

underlying point-point distance strategy, defaults to haversine
