closest_point_on_segment_xy

compas.geometry.closest_point_on_segment_xy(point, segment)[source]

Compute closest point on a line segment to a given point lying in the XY-plane.

Parameters

  • point ([float, float] or [float, float, float] | compas.geometry.Point) – XY(Z) coordinates of a point.

  • segment ([point, point] | compas.geometry.Line) – Two 2D or 3D points defining the line segment (Z components will be ignored).

Returns

[float, float, 0.0] – XYZ coordinates of closest point in the XY plane.
