Description

Returns the points on two objects where the shortest distance between those objects occurs. Should support all VW primitives, including polylines and NURBS. Would be nice if it supported groups, symbols, and PIOs. Would also be nice if it supported 3D.

PROCEDURE ClosestPoints(
             h1             :HANDLE;
             h2             :HANDLE;
             VAR pt1        :VECTOR;
             VAR pt2        :VECTOR;
             VAR touching   :BOOLEAN);

def vs.ClosestPoints(h1, h2):
    return (pt1, pt2, touching)

Parameters

h1		HANDLE
h2		HANDLE
pt1		VECTOR
pt2		VECTOR
touching		BOOLEAN
