Package Exports

point-line-distance

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (point-line-distance) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

point-line-distance

Computes the distance between a point and a line defined with any two points lying on it

Install

$ npm install --save point-line-distance

Usage

Let

var point = [1, 0, 1]
var a = [1, 2, -1]
var b = [2, 0, 3]

Compute the distance as follows

var pld = require('point-line-distance');
pld(point, a, b)  // Math.sqrt(8 / 7)

If you need the squared distance require squared as follows

var pldSquared = require('point-line-distance/squared');
pldSquared(point, a, b)  // 8 / 7

API

pld = require('point-line-distance')

`pld(point, a, b)`

params

point [Array] the target point
a [Array] and b [Array] are two points that define a line

returns

The distance between point and the line defined by a and b

throws

Throws an error when a === b
