This method calculates the distance to a point only in case, when the distance is smaller then MaxDist else Utils.big will be returned. You can imagine a strip with width MaxDist along the line. If now a point lays into the strip, then this is a good one and the distance will be calculated and returned. If CheckP is true then additional to the strip a halfcircle with center P and radius Maxdist is considered and analogusly for CheckQ.

Parameters

p

The point, which will be tested

MaxDist

The maximal distance, for what a line a good result returns

CheckP

If CheckP is true a line, which has to point P a distance smaller then Maxdist returns good results

CheckQ

If CheckQ is true a line, which has to point Q a distance smaller then Maxdist returns good results

Lam

The param Lam can be taken to calculate the nearest point on the line by Value(Lam)

Return Value

In case the distance of the line is smaller then Maxdist, the distance is returned else big
