Method ClosestPointsOnTwoLineSegments

ClosestPointsOnTwoLineSegments(Vector3, Vector3, Vector3, Vector3, out Vector3, out Vector3, double)

Finds the closest points between two line segments.

Declaration

public static bool ClosestPointsOnTwoLineSegments(Vector3 a, Vector3 aLineVector, Vector3 b, Vector3 bLineVector, out Vector3 resultA, out Vector3 resultB, double parallelTest = 5E-324)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector3	a	Starting point of segment A.
Vector3	aLineVector	Vector from point a to the end point of segment A.
Vector3	b	Starting point of segment B.
Vector3	bLineVector	Vector from point b to the end point of segment B.
Vector3	resultA	Set to the coordinates of the point along segment A that is closest to any point on segment B.
Vector3	resultB	Set to the coordinates of the point along segment B that is closest to any point on segment A.
double	parallelTest	(Optional) epsilon value for parallel lines test

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the line segments are parallel, false otherwise

Remarks

If the two line segments are parallel, then resultA and resultB are set to the midpoint of the respective line segments.
