OrientedBoxTreeTool in 2D

Issue #132 new
Luca Verzeroli created an issue

Is it possible to use OrientedBoxTreeTool in 2D?

I would like to use the function closest_to_location to find the distance between a point and a line that represents an object.

So I need to load (i don’t know in which format) the segments that represent the line and then compute the distance from a given point.

Can i use MOAB for this?

    This looks akin to a ray-trace query. Perhaps @Patrick Shriwise or @Paul Wilson may be able to clarify this.

    This is definite possible with the OBBTreeTool. It might be possible with small changes to the 3D version, but definitely possible with a new 2D version based on the 3D version. You’ll also want to look at GeometryQueryTool
