◆ 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.

◆ compare_distance_to_point() [2/2]

template<typename Kernel >
Comparison_result CGAL::compare_distance_to_point ( const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > &  p,
const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > &  q,
const CGAL::Point_3< 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.
