Howdy,

    I need a little help on finding a good algorithm for selecting lines
as objects, er, the detection of a mouse click "close enough" to a line.
 If anybody has such an animal, your help would be greatly appreciated. 
I use MacApp in MPW Object Pascal, but I can comprehend C++ and other
languages, so example code in any language would be a boon to me. 
Thanks.
