Parameters

lineA: Type: Cognex.VisionPro3D Cog3DLine
The first line. May not be null.

lineB: Type: Cognex.VisionPro3D Cog3DLine
The second line. May not be null.

pointOnLineA: Type: Cognex.VisionPro3D Cog3DVect3
This output parameter is a point on lineA. The distance between pointOnLineA and pointOnLineB is the shortest distance between lineA and lineB.

pointOnLineB: Type: Cognex.VisionPro3D Cog3DVect3
This output parameter is a point on lineB. The distance between pointOnLineA and pointOnLineB is the shortest distance between lineA and lineB.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	If lineA or lineB is null.

Remarks

If lineA and lineB are parallel or coincident, then the pair of nearest points is not unique. (pointOnLineA, pointOnLineB) is just one of the pairs of nearest points.
