Some requests regarding posts.

1) put your comments following the relevant text rather than at the top.
2) delete old (irrelevant) text.
4) be more clear with your questions.

I can make guesses about what you want, but that wastes time.

" distance between a line and intermediate points which were between 
lines start and end point" as I read this the answer seems to be zero. ( 
a point that is between lines start and end point is on the line). I 
don't think you mean that.

We are here to help. The more you tell us the easier it is for us to help.
