GeneralDistance

Definition

Requirements of a distance class defining a distance between a query item denoting a spatial object and a point. To optimize distance computations transformed distances are used, e.g., for an Euclidian distance the transformed distance is the squared Euclidean distance.

Operations

FT	gd.transformed_distance ( Query_item q, Point_d r)
		Returns the transformed distance between q and r.
FT	gd.min_distance_to_rectangle ( Query_item q, Kd_tree_rectangle<FT> r)
		Returns the transformed distance between q and the point on the boundary of r closest to q.
FT	gd.max_distance_to_rectangle ( Query_item q, Kd_tree_rectangle<FT> r)
		Returns the transformed distance between q and the point on the boundary of r furthest to q.
FT	gd.transformed_distance ( FT d)
		Returns the transformed distance.
FT	gd.inverse_of_transformed_distance ( FT d)
		Returns the inverse of the transformed distance.
