I'm too lazy to try this, but what happens if you use the inverse distance as the norm instead? Shouldn't that produce something like the right panel?


No idea, my intuition says no though. That you'd get a fit with the same slope but an infinitely large intercept.

My guess is you'd need to do something clever with dot products to find the line that runs orthoganal to least squares fit.
