closest_point_on_line_xy

compas.geometry.closest_point_on_line_xy(point, line)[source]

Compute closest point on line (continuous) 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.

line[point, point] | compas.geometry.Line

Two XY(Z) points defining a line.

Returns:
[float, float, 0.0]

XYZ coordinates of the closest point in the XY plane.
