Detailed Description

template<class T>
class rw::math::InfinityMetric< T >

Infinity norm distance metric for vector types.

InfinityMetric is a metric of the Euclidean n-Plane. The distance between two points \( P = (p_1, p_2, ..., p_n) \) and \( Q = (q_1, q_2, ..., q_n) \) is defined as \( max_i |p_i - q_i|\)
