 | CalcDistance(FoundLine, Boolean, dvec3) |
Distance between two lines:
The distance between two parallel lines 1 and 2 is just the
difference R2-R1. This calculation turned out to be instable in case
the angles of the lines differ too much. Too much can mean rather
small angles if R is big. Therefore another distance definition is
used if the flag isMidpointBased is true:
This line is the base line which defines the Angle. The given
"other" line in the argument is the line we want the distance to
know with its start and end points P1 and P2. For the "other line" the
mid point M is calculated, and its distance D to the plumb point will
be returned as the distance between the lines.
