mesh_dist
ABSTRACT
Computes the minimum distance between a test point and the selected meshes within the provided mesh-tree. NOTE: this is purely between the points that are a part of the mesh. This means that in a sphere, for example, there would actually be positive distance between a test point in the center and the sphere.
PARAMETERS
| mesh | Considers all meshes in the mesh-tree for distance computation. |
| root | Specifies the container mesh-tree where meshes are selected for distance calculation. |
| tag_predicate(tag) | Determines if a mesh with the provided tag contributes to the distance computation. |
| test_point | The point (3-vector) for which the minimum distance from the selected meshes is calculated. |
RETURN
The minimum distance between the test point and the selected meshes within the provided mesh-tree.
