LineCollection

class data_morph.shapes.bases.line_collection.LineCollection(*lines: Iterable[Iterable[Number]])

Bases: Shape

Class representing a shape consisting of one or more lines.

Parameters:

*lines (Iterable[Iterable[numbers.Number]]) – An iterable of two (x, y) pairs representing the endpoints of a line.

distance(x: Number, y: Number) → float

Calculate the minimum distance from the lines of this shape to a point (x, y).

Parameters:

• x (numbers.Number) – Coordinates of a point in 2D space.

• y (numbers.Number) – Coordinates of a point in 2D space.

Returns:

The minimum distance from the lines of this shape to the point (x, y).

Return type:

float
