## Function Documentation

template<typename Kernel >

Comparison_result CGAL::compare_distance_to_point | ( | const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > & | p,
|  | const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > & | q,
|  | const CGAL::Point_2< Kernel > & | r
| ) |  |

compares the distances of points `q` and `r` to point `p`.

returns `CGAL::SMALLER`, iff `q` is closer to `p` than `r`, `CGAL::LARGER`, iff `r` is closer to `p` than `q`, and `CGAL::EQUAL` otherwise.

`#include <CGAL/global_functions.h>`

template<typename Kernel >

Comparison_result CGAL::compare_distance_to_point | ( | const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > & | p,
|  | const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > & | q,
|  | const CGAL::Point_3< Kernel > & | r
| ) |  |

compares the distances of points `q` and `r` to point `p`.

returns `CGAL::SMALLER`, iff `q` is closer to `p` than `r`, `CGAL::LARGER`, iff `r` is closer to `p` than `q`, and `CGAL::EQUAL` otherwise.
