◆ compare_distance_to_point() [1/2]

template<typename Kernel >

Comparison_result CGAL::compare_distance_to_point	(	const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > &	p,
		const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > &	q,
		const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > &	r
	)

#include <CGAL/Kernel/global_functions.h>

compares the distances of points q and r to point p.

returns CGAL::SMALLER, iff q is closer to p than r, CGAL::LARGER, iff r is closer to p than q, and CGAL::EQUAL otherwise.

	)

#include <CGAL/Kernel/global_functions.h>

compares the distances of points q and r to point p.

returns CGAL::SMALLER, iff q is closer to p than r, CGAL::LARGER, iff r is closer to p than q, and CGAL::EQUAL otherwise.
