Nearest Neighbor Problem

Hi

I am trying to implement the nearest neighbor problem in skill, can anyone help me with some examples and tutorials?

basically i am tryint to get the closest point in a list of points for a given x,y

I am using sortcar to do this but it is very slow since there is a huge amount of calculation goes on

So I would like to use any NNP algorithm and would like some pointers,

 regards

    Hi

    If you just need the closest point, what's wrong with just running through each element and calculating the distance

    closestpoint = car(listofpoints)

    shortestdistance = axlDistance(referencepoint closestpoint)

    foreach(pid listofpoints

    when(axlDistance(referencepoint lid) < shortestdistance

    shortestdistance = axlDistance(referencepoint lid)

    closestpoint = lid

    )

    )

    that should return the closest point and the shortest distance.

    Best regards

    Ole
