Distance computation #140

Closed lassepe closed 3 years ago

lassepe commented 3 years ago

I am looking for a function to compute the minimum distance between different GeometryBasics types, primarily

Is this functionality provided by this package or by another related package? I could only find GeometryBasics.min_euclideansq which is only implemented for GeometryBasics.HyperRectangle.

Meshes.jl has the perpendicular distance from Point to Line where a line is an actual line. I think the Line in GeometryBasics.jl refers to a line segment, which we call Segment in Meshes.jl

We have other geometric operations implemented there, and we are trying to make them bug free and efficient. It would be nice to have your feedback if something is missing.

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll give that a try and report back if I run into any issues. Closing this for now.
