How to get the closest line to a selected polyline

How do you find the closest point to a point?

The idea is to split the point set into two halves with a vertical line, find the closest pair within each half, and then find the closest pair between the two halves. The result of finding the closest pair within each half speeds up finding the closest pair between the halves.
