Why are geometric features calculated individually?

Post by lightcuber »

Hi, for the geometric feature calculation tool, it appears to calculate each feature separately if several are selected. I'm wondering why this is, especially for the eigenvalue features, because they are all just based on L1 L2 and L3, so you could easily calculate all of those features at once just by knowing those three values, right?

For me it is a speed issue, because currently I calculate the eigenvalues and some other stuff myself in another program and it's not too much slower, but if I could just invoke CC that would be much much simpler.

It would also be extremely useful to be able to calculate radius statistics (mean, stdev) for any scalar field. I don't think there's a way to do this currently, right? Then I could do all of my calculations in CC. :)

Thanks

Yep, it's because we never had the time to properly merge all these tools (that were originally separate). It could be enhanced... as soon as someone as time to do it ;)
