Detailed Description

template<int N, typename T = double>
class geom::SegmentMath< N, T >

A segment in N dimensional space designed for doing math operations.

Parameters:

	N	is the dimension.
	T	is the number type. By default it is double.

A segment is an ordered doublet of points. This class stores the length of the segment and its tangent.
