Detecting mouse courser when is close to polyline
<p>I have a programming question with some math weight. I have a map with shapes(polylines) drown on it. I can take the screen coordinates of that shapes and translate them to map coordinates and reverse. I am capturing mouse position and moving around the map. How can I recognize if I come in proximity to another shape drown on the map while I am moving the mouse. I was thinking to create a radius of points around the mouse cursor, then constantly looping trough available shapes (I imagine I can load their coordinates in arrays) for a match. However that will be very slow I think. The point is that when I am in proximity (for example 15px) I will snap the muse position to that close shape. Any suggestions? </p>
