I'm trying to use "closestSegmentWithContext" method of QgsGeometry in a plugin. I don't seem to be getting what I'm expecting.

Comparing http://qgis.org/api/classQgsGeometry.html#ac09505a6a8a29f244a37c6f336cd98e7

with the following from: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/core/geometry/qgsgeometry.sip

    /**
     * Searches for the closest segment of geometry to the given point
     * @param point Specifies the point for search
     * @param minDistPoint Receives the nearest point on the segment
* @param afterVertex Receives index of the vertex after the closest segment. The vertex
     * before the closest segment is always afterVertex - 1
* @param leftOf Out: Returns if the point lies on the left of right side of the segment ( < 0 means left, > 0 means right )
     * @param epsilon epsilon for segment snapping (added in 1.8)
* @return The squared cartesian distance is also returned in sqrDist, negative number on error
     */
double closestSegmentWithContext( const QgsPoint& point, QgsPoint& minDistPoint /Out/, int& afterVertex /Out/ ) const;


When I try:

   results =
   self.selectedStreetSegment.geometry().closestSegmentWithContext(point)


I get a results as:

   (2560.365846544, (2106395, 746610), 1)

I take this to be (sqrDist, minDistPoint, afterVertex ). It does not seem to be returning "leftOf" which is the value I'm looking for.

Is something missing in that "sip" definition? I do not know what I'm looking at so I may be looking at the wrong thing. In any case, I cannot seem to find the results I need.

Thanks,
