Methods

o distanceSquared 
 public final float distanceSquared(javax.vecmath.Point4f p1)
Computes the square of the distance between this point and point p1.

Parameters:
p1 - the other point
Returns:
the square of distance between these two points as a float
o distance 
 public final float distance(javax.vecmath.Point4f p1)
Returns the distance between this point and point p1.

Parameters:
p1 - the other point
Returns:
the distance between these two points
o distanceL1 
 public final float distanceL1(javax.vecmath.Point4f p1)
Computes the L-1 (Manhattan) distance between this point and point p1. The L-1 distance is equal to abs(x1-x2) + abs(y1-y2) + abs(z1-z2) + abs(w1-w2).
