=head1 NAME
BH_Line - a straight line on a plane.
=head1 SYNTAX
#include <BH/Math.h>
cc prog.c -o prog -lbh
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The BH_Line module provides functions for working with straight lines on a
plane. It allows you to calculate the coefficients of a line based on two
points, find the distance from a point to a line, and determine the closest
point on the line to a given point.
=head1 API CALLS
=head2 BH_LineFromPoints
int BH_LineFromPoints(const float a[2],
const float b[2],
float out[3]);
Calculates the coefficients of a line on a plane based on two points I<a> and
I<b>.
The I<out> parameter describes the resulting line on the plane.
If successful, the function returns 0, otherwise it returns an error code.
=head2 BH_LineDistance
float BH_LineDistance(const float line[3],
const float point[2]);
Calculates the distance from the point I<point> to the line I<line>.
=head2 BH_LineClosestPoint
void BH_LineClosestPoint(const float line[3],
const float point[2],
float out[2]);
Calculates the closest point on the line I<line> to another point I<point>.
The I<out> parameter describes the resulting point.
