i have a point dataset showing the location of road furniture, and also a line dataset showing the geometry of a road. I need to create a line between the existing point and the road line, but cant get my head round where to start.
Any suggestions welcome...
The NeighborFinder should be able to do that for you.
This should give you the idea of how it works in general.
To create a line between the point and the nearest point on a line segment you use a NeighborFinder in conjunction with a VertexCreator using the coordinates generated by the finder.
The result is each point with a line to the nearest coordinate on the line.
