point

Type: siICENodeDataVector2 or siICENodeDataVector3

Structure: siICENodeStructureAny

Context: siICENodeContextAny

Position of the point from which to calculate the closest line point.

linepoint1

Type: siICENodeDataVector2 or siICENodeDataVector3

Structure: siICENodeStructureAny

Context: siICENodeContextAny

First point through which the line passes.

linepoint2

Type: siICENodeDataVector2 or siICENodeDataVector3

Structure: siICENodeStructureAny

Context: siICENodeContextAny

Second point through which the line passes.

Description

result

Type: siICENodeDataVector2 or siICENodeDataVector3

Structure: siICENodeStructureAny

Context: siICENodeContextAny

Position of the point on the line closest to the input point.

distance

Type: siICENodeDataFloat

Structure: siICENodeStructureAny

Context: siICENodeContextAny

Distance to the closest point on the line.

valid

Type: siICENodeDataBool

Structure: siICENodeStructureAny

Context: siICENodeContextAny

Defines whether the input values are valid. The line is well defined only when the two input line points are not equal. In this case this port returns true.

Restrictions

• These types must match: point, linepoint1, linepoint2

• These structures must match: point, linepoint1, linepoint2, result, distance, valid

• These contexts must match: point, linepoint1, linepoint2, result, distance, valid
