Method: RGeo::Feature::Geometry#distance

Defined in:
lib/rgeo/feature/geometry.rb

#distance(_another_geometry) ⇒ Object

SFS 1.1 Description

Returns the shortest distance between any two Points in the two geometric objects as calculated in the spatial reference system of this geometric object.

Notes

Returns a floating-point scalar value.

Although implementations are free to attempt to handle another_geometry values that do not share the same factory as this geometry, strictly speaking, the result of measuring the distance between objects from different factories is undefined.

Raises:
