Namespace:  ceometric.VectorGeometry
Assembly:  ceometric.VectorGeometry (in ceometric.VectorGeometry.dll) Version: 1.6.0.0 (1.6.0.0)

Syntax

C#
public double DistanceTo(
	Triangle triangle
)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function DistanceTo ( _
	triangle As Triangle _
) As Double
Visual C++
public:
double DistanceTo(
	Triangle^ triangle
)

Parameters

triangle
Type: ceometric.VectorGeometry..::.Triangle
A triangle.

Return Value

Returns the signed minimum distance from the plane to triangle.

Remarks

This distance is
  • positive if the closest point on triangle lies on the other side of the plane as the origin,
  • zero if triangle intersects the plane or lies on the plane and
  • negative if the closest point on triangle lies on the same side of the plane as the origin.
