Edit Question
Title
Body
I need a basic function to find the shortest distance between a point and a line segment. Feel free to write the solution in any language you want; I can translate it into what I'm using (Javascript). EDIT: My line segment is defined by two endpoints. So my line segment AB is defined by the two points A (x1,y1) and B (x2,y2) . I'm trying to find the distance between this line segment and a point C (x3,y3) . My geometry skills are rusty, so the examples I've seen are confusing, I'm sorry to admit.
