The problem is deciding which point on the bottom curve matches which point on the top curve (and vice-versa). Once you have pairs of points then the mathematics is relatively simple. The solution probably involves finding the set of shortest lines from top to bottom, and then bottom-to-top. You will often find a situation where a sharp corner at the top matches up with an entire arc below, and vice-versa, so need to solve in both directions. I think I would do it in Matlab. -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
