strategy::distance::pythagoras

Strategy to calculate the distance between two points.

template<typename CalculationType>
class strategy::distance::pythagoras
{
  // ...
};

Parameter	Default	Description
typename CalculationType	void	numeric type for calculation (e.g. high precision); if void then it is extracted automatically from the coordinate type and (if necessary) promoted to floating point

Function	Description	Parameters	Returns
template<typename P1, typename P2> calculation_type< P1, P2 >::type apply(P1 const & p1, P2 const & p2)	applies the distance calculation using pythagoras	P1 const &: p1: first point P2 const &: p2: second point	the calculated distance (including taking the square root)

Returns

template<typename P1, typename P2>
calculation_type< P1, P2 >::type apply(P1 const & p1, P2 const & p2)

applies the distance calculation using pythagoras

P1 const &: p1: first point

P2 const &: p2: second point

the calculated distance (including taking the square root)
