| |
| [heading Behaviour] |
| It depends on the coordinate system of the geometry's point type if there is |
| a strategy available which can determine (more efficient than the standard |
| strategy) a measure of comparable distance. |

| [include reference/status/distance_status.qbk] |
| |
| [heading Complexity] |
| For point to geometry: linear |
| |
| For multi-point to ring/polygon/multi-polygon: currently quadratic |
| |
| For all other geometry combinations: linearithmic |
