Math::DistanceLineToLine

Defined in: C4Computation.h

Calculates the distance between two lines.

Prototype

float DistanceLineToLine(const Point3D& s1, const Vector3D& v1, const Point3D& s2, const Vector3D& v2);

Parameters

`s1`	The origin S₁ of the first line.
`v1`	The direction V₁ of the first line.
`s2`	The origin S₂ of the second line.
`v2`	The direction V₂ of the second line.

Description

The DistanceLineToLine function returns the distance of closest approach between the two lines defined by S₁ + t · V₁ and S₂ + t · V₂. If the lines are parallel, then the perpendicular distance between the lines is returned.
