Functions
Returns the distance from a point to a line. The distance measured is the distance between the specified point and the closest point on the infinitely-extended line defined by the specified coordinates. If the specified point intersects the line, this method returns 0.0.
Returns the square of the distance from a point to a line. The distance measured is the distance between the specified point and the closest point on the infinitely-extended line defined by the specified coordinates. If the specified point intersects the line, this method returns 0.0.
Returns an indicator of where the specified point {@code (px,py)} lies with respect to the line segment from {@code (x1,y1)} to {@code (x2,y2)}. The return value can be either 1, -1, or 0 and indicates in which direction the specified line must pivot around its first end point, {@code (x1,y1)}, in order to point at the specified point {@code (px,py)} .
