| SE_shape_calculate_distance | |
Returns the closest distance between two shapes.
LONG SE_shape_calculate_distance (const SE_SHAPE primary_shape, const SE_SHAPE secondary_shape, LFLOAT *distance, BOOL inside_test);
| primary_shape | A handle to an active shape object |
| secondary_shape | A handle to an active shape object |
| distance | The distance |
| inside_test | If FALSE, returns the closest boundary-to-boundary distance. If TRUE and any part of one of the shapes is inside the other, distance is set to zero. |
Returns the closest distance between two shapes. If inside_test is FALSE, inside tests are not performed on the two shapes, and the closest boundary-to-boundary distance is returned. If inside_test is TRUE and any part of one of the shapes is inside the other area shape, the minimum distance is set to zero.
