I am interested in finding out whether or not it is possible to calculate
the distance between the edges of two polygons within MapInfo. Currently, I
can only find a means of calculating the distance between the centroids of
two polygons:
centroidX(obj),CentroidY(obj), m "distance"
What I am interested in calculating is the distance between the point at
which the centroid to centroid line crosses the boundaries of both polygons
i.e. the shortest distance between the edges of both polygons.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received, and I will post a summary.
