Parameters:

line_pointarray, shape (3,)

Point on line.

line_directionarray, shape (3,)

Direction of the line. This is assumed to be of unit length.

rectangle_centerarray, shape (3,)

Center point of the rectangle.

rectangle_axesarray, shape (2, 3)

Each row is a vector of unit length, indicating the direction of one axis of the rectangle. Both vectors are orthogonal.

rectangle_lengthsarray, shape (2,)

Lengths of the two sides of the rectangle.

epsilonfloat, optional (default: 1e-6)

Values smaller than epsilon are considered to be 0.

Returns:

distfloat

The shortest distance between line and rectangle.

closest_point_linearray, shape (3,)

Closest point on the line.

closest_point_rectanglearray, shape (3,)

Closest point on the rectangle.
