• float DistancePointLine[x,y,ax,ay,bx,by]: Returns the distance from x,y to the nearest point on the line from a and b, or NULL if the perpendicular passing through point (x,y) to the line defined by (ax,ay) (bx,by) does not intersect on the segment between points a and b.

Methods

None

Returns

NULL

Examples

Create a random number between 10 and 99

• ${Math.Rand[90]:Inc[10]}

Returns 10-99

Return absolute value of a variable

• ${Math.Abs[Faction]}

Display the cosine of a given formula

• variable int x=9293
• echo ${Math.Cos[${x}*82]}

Output

-0.07

Square root a variable and set it as that number

• variable float x=12934
• x:Set[${Math.Sqrt[${x}]}]
• echo X=${x}

Output

 X=113.73

Obtain a hex value from a number

• echo Hex value of 1234567890: ${Math.Hex[1234567890]}

Output

Hex value of 1234567890: 499602d2

Obtain a number from a hex value

• echo Hex 499602d2 converted to a number: ${Math.Dec[499602d2]}

Output

Hex 499602d2 converted to a number: 1234567890

Find the distance between two 3-dimensional points

• echo Distance between point 4332,3194,-293 and 1023,4823,-5991 is: ${Math.Distance[4332,3194,-293,1023,4823,-5991]}
