Hello Opendx-users,

(Question):
Is it possible to use opendx to pick two points on a
non-linear (iso)-surface and measure the “complete”
distance?  In addition, would it be possible to depict
the measured distance with a different colored
iso-surface (ie an iso-line)?


An example of a non-linear iso-surface could be waves
from an ocean or hills on land.  I want to be able to
pick two points on the surface and measure the
complete distance between the two points that is up
the wakes and down the troughs of the wave(s).  Then
display the result.

(Solution needs help):
I know it is possible to use the pick module to pick
landmarks on an iso-surface.  Now the next step would
probably to find the shortest path from the two
selected points on the iso-surface. (I do not recall
seeing that algorithm in opendx as a module or macro
but it may exist somewhere else…)  Once the path is
determined those (points or vertices) could be
measured to get the length and form the line??? 

I do not know enough about the internals of opendx. I
was hopping to see if this has been done before or
perhaps a different approach...  

-jj
