## Detailed Description

Computes the length index of the point on a linear Geometry nearest a given Coordinate.

The nearest point is not necessarily unique; this class always computes the nearest point closest to the start of the geometry.

## Member Function Documentation

## indexOf()

double geos::linearref::LengthIndexOfPoint::indexOf | ( | const geom::Coordinate & | inputPt | ) | const

Find the nearest location along a linear Geometry to a given point.

Parameters

  inputPt | the coordinate to locate

Returns
  the location of the nearest point

## indexOfAfter()

double geos::linearref::LengthIndexOfPoint::indexOfAfter | ( | const geom::Coordinate & | inputPt,
|  | double | minIndex ) const

Finds the nearest index along the linear Geometry to a given Coordinate after the specified minimum index.

If possible the location returned will be strictly greater than the `minLocation`. If this is not possible, the value returned will equal `minLocation`. (An example where this is not possible is when minLocation = [end of line] ).

Parameters

  inputPt | the coordinate to locate
  minIndex | the minimum location for the point location

Returns
  the location of the nearest point
