In this paper we report on the implementation of a heuristic for computing the closest of a set of n given points in the plane to a complex query object, to wit a triangle, a circle, a rectangle etc. Our results indicate that the heuristic is efiective for query objects with small perimeter relative to the given point set, and large values of n.
