All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`delete()`
`double`	`distance(Line q)`	The distance from the zero element to q
`double`	`distance(Line a, Line b)`	The distance from element a to b.
`static long`	`getCPtr(MetricLine obj)`
`int`	`size()`	The dimension of elements on which this metric operates. The returns -1 if the elements don't have a measure of dimension or if the metric works for elements of all dimensions.
