Function Distance returns the distance between the two specified coordinate locations.

FUNCTION Distance(
          x1   :REAL;
          y1   :REAL;
          x2   :REAL;
          y2   :REAL) : REAL;

def vs.Distance(x1, y1, x2, y2):
    return REAL

Parameters

x1		REAL		X coordinate of first point.
y1		REAL		Y coordinate of first point.
x2		REAL		X coordinate of second point.
y2		REAL		Y coordinate of second point.

Example

VectorScript

d:=Distance(0,2,4,5);
{returns the distance between (0,2) and (4,5)}
