closest_point_on_segment

compas_singular.geometry.closest_point_on_segment(a, b, c)[source]

Closest point on segment. Different from projection because an extremity is yielded if the projection is on the line but outside the segment.

Parameters

  • a (list) – First line point coordinates.

  • b (list) – Second line point coordinates.

  • c (list) – Point coordinates.

Returns

tuple – The projected point coordinates and the distance from the input point.
