<div>
might you can use direct calculation<br />
<br />
&nbsp;Math.sqrt((desA-Origin1)*(<wbr />desA-Origi<wbr />n1)+(desB-<wbr />Origin2)*(<wbr />desB-Origi<wbr />n2))<br />
<br />
whatever the result is your direct distance.<br />
<br />
the formula is use in this is the line equation.....<br />
<br />
<br />
