         * Determining whether the point lies next to line segment or outside
         * is done using Pythagorean theorem. If the following equation
         * applies, the point **p** lies outside line segment closer to **a**:

         * lies outside line segment closer to **b**:

         * @f]
         * The last alternative is when the following equation applies. The
         * point then lies between **a** and **b** and the distance is
         * computed the same way as in linePoint().
