Method rectDistance

qcustomplot/qcustomplot.cpp:12417–12441

! \internal A convenience function which returns the selectTest value for a specified \a rect and a specified click position \a pos. \a filledRect defines whether a click inside the rect should also be considered a hit or whether only the rect border is sensitive to hits. This function may be used to help with the implementation of the \ref selectTest function for specific items.
