** <span style="color:green">'''distanceType'''</span> [<span style="color:orange">----distanceType</span>] : Algorithm used to compute the distance between the 2 models (signed_closest_point/absolute_closest_point/corresponding_point_to_point).

+

*** signed_closest_point and absolute_closest_point are respectively the signed and absolute Hausdorff distance between the points of the 2 models.

+

*** corresponding_point_to_point requires the 2 models to have the same number of points. It assumes that in each model, point at a certain index correspond to each other. The distance is then computed between each corresponding point. The distances are computed the following way: Point2 - Point1. The output information is saved in a copy of VTKFile1. This methods adds 6 data fields to the vtk file: PointToPointVector, SignedPointToPointDistance, AbsolutePointToPointDistance, MagNormVector, SignedMagNormDirDistance, AbsoluteMagNormDirDistance. PointToPoint distances are the different distances between the models (vector, signed distance and absolute distance). MagNorm distances are computed on the projection of the distance version on the normal at that location. MagNormVector is the normal version multiplied by the dot product of the normal vector and the distance vector. SignedMagNormDirDistance is the dot product between the 2 vectors and AbsoluteMagNormDirDistance its absolute value.
