ptarray_closest_segment_2d()

int ptarray_closest_segment_2d	(	const POINTARRAY *	pa,
		const POINT2D *	qp,
		double *	dist
	)

Parameters

pa	the subject pointarray
qp	the query point
dist	optional output for actual distance from segment

Returns

0-based segment index for the closest segment (earliest segment in case of same distance)
