Nearpoint vs Minpos ​

minpos ​

Given a position in world space, returns the position of the closest point on a given geometry.

vector minpos(<geometry>geometry, vector point)

-> returns vector position

nearpoint ​

Finds the closest point in a geometry. This retrieves more data compared to 'minpos'

int nearpoint(<geometry>geometry, vector pt) -> returns number of point

Summary ​

  • Minpos: Returns the position (vector) of the closest point. Suitable for simple position calculations.

  • Nearpoint: Returns the number (int) of the closest point. Useful when accessing point attributes or when additional operations are needed.
