line <-distance: to=graphical|point|event, segment=[bool] -> int

If the argument is a point object, this method computes the distance to the the infinitely extended line (if segment is @default or @off) or the line segment if segment is @on.

If the argument is an event object, act as above using the position of the event in the coordinate space of the graphical<-device.

If the argument is a graphical objects, it invokes area<-distance using the areas of both graphicals.
