Friends
CoordType SquaredDistance (const Point &p1, const Point &p2)Get the square of the distance from p1 to p2.
Point< dim > Midpoint (const Point &p1, const Point &p2, CoordType dist)
Find a point on the line containing p1 and p2, by default the midpoint.
Detailed Description
template<const int dim> class WFMath::Point< dim >
A dim dimensional point. This class implements the full shape interface, as described in the fake class Shape.

template<const int dim> Point<dim> Midpoint (const Point< dim > & p1, const Point< dim > & p2, CoordType dist = 0.5) [friend]
Find a point on the line containing p1 and p2, by default the midpoint.The default value of 0.5 for dist gives the midpoint. A value of 0 gives p1, and 1 gives p2. Values of dist outside the [0, 1] range are allowed, and give points on the line which are not on the segment bounded by p1 and p2.
