Project a planar polyline on another polyline 1.0

Compute the distances (cross-ranges) from a set of points% P on a plane to the planar polyline% V , and the distances (ranges) from the% projections of P on V to the first point of a segment containing% the projected point. Planar polyline V is defined as a set of n-1% segments connecting n ordered vertices v(1), v(2), ..., v(n) on a% plane.% In case when the shortest distance is to the vertex of the% polyline (see p(2) in the picture below), the cross range% cr(2) will be the distance to the vertex and the range will be% the length of this segment (segment # 3)%% p(1)% o p(m)% | o% cr(1)-> | p(k) /% | o / | /% x---x | | v(n)/% | x-->|--------x |--------x r(2)% |->|
