distanceIndexedPointBToSegmentAC MethodStatic

return perpendicular distance from points[indexB] to the segment points[indexA] to points[indexC].

  • extrapolation option when projection is outside of fraction range 0..1 are:
    • false ==> measure distance to closest endpoint
    • true ==> measure distance to extended line segment. (no index checking!)
