It uses aabbExtrema function inside, which you can find in yade/py/_utils.cpp file. Now back to your problem. One thing came to my mind, you can estimate the projected area by defining a grid and checking if the point of the grid is contained by your clump or not. Along what axis you want to make the projection? x/y/z or some generic axis? Would you like to try to implement it, or should we help you by implementing such function in Yade? cheers Jan -- You received this question notification because you are a member of yade-users, which is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : yade-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
