strategy::distance::pythagoras_point_box

Strategy to calculate the distance between a point and a box.

template<typename CalculationType>
class strategy::distance::pythagoras_point_box
{
  // ...
};

Parameter	Default	Description
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

Function	Description	Parameters	Returns
template<typename Point, typename Box> calculation_type< Point, Box >::type apply(Point const & point, Box const & box)	applies the distance calculation using pythagoras	Point const &: point: point Box const &: box: box	the calculated distance (including taking the square root)

Function

Description

Parameters

Returns

template<typename Point, typename Box>
calculation_type< Point, Box >::type apply(Point const & point, Box const & box)

applies the distance calculation using pythagoras

Point const &: point: point

Box const &: box: box

the calculated distance (including taking the square root)

#include <boost/geometry/strategies/cartesian/distance_pythagoras_point_box.hpp>

	Note
	Can be used for points and boxes with two, three or more dimensions
