In Sympy, the function
distance()
is used to find the shortest distance between a given line and a given point.
Syntax: Line.distance(other) Parameter: other: a point Returns: shortest distance between a line and a point Raises: NotImplementedError is raised if `other` is not a Point
Example #1:
# import sympy and Point, Line from sympy import Point, Line
p1, p2 = Point( 0 , 0 ), Point( 1 , 1 )
s = Line(p1, p2)
# using distance() method shortestDistance = s.distance(Point( - 1 , 1 ))
print (shortestDistance)
|
Output:
sqrt(2)
Example #2:
# import sympy and Point, Line from sympy import Point, Line
p1, p2 = Point( 0 , 0 , 0 ), Point( 1 , 1 , 1 )
s = Line(p1, p2)
# using distance() method shortestDistance = s.distance(Point( - 1 , 1 , 1 ))
print (shortestDistance)
|
Output:
2*sqrt(6)/3
