! \internal Calculates the minimum distance in pixels the graph's representation has from the given \a pixelPoint. This is used to determine whether the graph was clicked or not, e.g. in \ref selectTest. The closest data point to \a pixelPoint is returned in \a closestData. Note that if the graph has a line representation, the returned distance may be smaller than the distance to the

  is \ref QCPScatterStyle::ssNone (i.e. there is no visual representation of the graph), returns -1.0.
