ProjectPointOnLine (FUN)

FUNCTION ProjectPointOnLine : BOOL

This function will project the point onto a straight line: thereby, the direction vector of the straight line is taken as normal vector of a plane that is moved along the line as long as it touches the point . The intersection point of the plane with the line corresponding to this location is the projected point.
