Ellipse.closest_point
- Ellipse.closest_point(point, return_parameter=False)[source]
Compute the closest point on the curve to a given point.
- Parameters:
- point
compas.geometry.Point The test point.
- return_parameterbool, optional
If True, the parameter corresponding to the closest point should be returned in addition to the point.
- point
- Returns:
compas.geometry.Point| tuple[compas.geometry.Point, float]If return_parameter is False (default), only the closest point is returned. If return_parameter is True, the closest point and the corresponding parameter are returned.
