> Dear all,
>
> I have a question or rather a feature request related to the particle
> analysis, which so far has limited functionality copared to commercial
> software packages in regard to particle size and shape analysis. I have
> noticed that there is a Feret diameter included in the module, but it is
> not clear at which orientation is this Feret measured. Since Feret
> diameters depend on particle orientation, a Feret at a single orientation
> is virtually useless, particularly when one has to deal with elongated
> particles. Would it be possible to include more Ferets, at different
> angles, and also add an automatic selection of maximum and minimum Ferets?
> This would enable the calculation of the aspect ratio and other relevant
> shape descriptors.
