In fact this comparison is not robust for points whose difference has two coordinates of almost same absolute magnitude but of different sign :
p1 = np.array([1,-1,0]) p2 = np.array([1,-1+1e-3,0]) p3 = np.array([1,-1-1e-3,0]) compare(p1,p1) Out[26]: 0 compare(p1,p2) Out[27]: -1 compare(p1,p3) Out[28]: 1 sorry, Pierre
