LengthToPointCalculator

Calculates the length of a feature from its start until the closest spot to a point, and adds it as a new attribute. The point coordinates are taken from attributes in the original feature.

The length is calculated along the feature up until the spot on the feature that is closest to the given point.

To calculate the length of the entire feature, use the LengthCalculator.

To calculate the distance from the start of the line to each vertex, use the MeasureGenerator.
