Returns the shortest distance between this geometry and another. By default distance computation is done using a linear algorithm unless a custom measure is supplied.

.NET Syntax

virtual double Distance(MgGeometry other, MgMeasure measure);

Java Syntax

virtual double Distance(MgGeometry other, MgMeasure measure);

PHP Syntax

virtual double Distance(MgGeometry other, MgMeasure measure);

Parameters:

	other	(MgGeometry) The MgGeometry to determine the distance to.
	measure	(MgMeasure) The MgMeasure instance to use when computing the distance. If null, a linear distance algorithm is used.

Returns:: A double value representing the shortest distance between two geometries.
