LIBRARY: testing a fast 2d algorithm to find the nearest point of a line, from another external point.. no square roots or triginometry.

controls: you can move the white points and line edges by dragging with the mouse/touch.

- orange point: point constrained in segment, nearest to external point
- blue point: point in infinite projected line, nearest to external point
