There are various ways of comparing numbers. The point is that you need to know which pairs of numbers/rectangles/etc. to compare. For that, you need to get the elements in a canonical order, and that *must* be done with discrete quantities. Some possibilities
I don't understand why it has to be done in a canonical order, rather than looking for the closest match for each element.
for the actual distance function, there are a lot of possibilities. You'll probably need to experiment what works best.
If we're looking to measure small changes, area of union minus area of intersection, divided by the area of the union, would probably be good.
BTW, brainwave: if we can localize the discrepancies by their bounding boxes, we could annotate the EPS files with glaring red circles that mark the differences!
That's beautiful. David _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
