#### strategy::distance::pythagoras_point_box

Strategy to calculate the distance between a point and a box.

###### Synopsis

    template<typename CalculationType>
    class strategy::distance::pythagoras_point_box
    {
      // ...
    };

###### Template parameter(s)

Parameter | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
typename CalculationType | void | numeric type for calculation (e.g. high precision); if void then it is extracted automatically from the coordinate type and (if necessary) promoted to floating point

###### Member Function(s)

Function | Description | Parameters | Returns
--- | --- | --- | ---
    template<typename Point, typename Box>
    calculation_type< Point, Box >::type apply(Point const & point, Box const & box)
| applies the distance calculation using pythagoras | Point const &: point: point Box const &: box: box | the calculated distance (including taking the square root)
