Hi, once again! i continued working on the subject and i have another, this time mathematical, solution of this problem. what you have to do is express the ellipse in a parametric way. If:
x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1, then the parametric form is:
x=asinU; y=bcosU ==> dx/dU=acosU...
hi, there!
maybe it's late, as someone said before me, but, somebody can find my (possible) solution useful. it's a geometrical one - if you have a point A whose shortest distance from an ellipse you want to find, being inside or outside of the ellipse area, you can draw a circle with the...
