| the command distance_perpendicular_to_path computes the perpendicular distance from a point along a path (p in the figure above) to a straight path defined as the position at event1 to position at event2. on_off_axis_path.gif in the above figure, the red line is the perpendicular distance from the point p. for example: \\ **distance_perpendicular_to_path** **/signal_types=**target **/signal_names=**mid_psis **! /signal_folder=**original **/result_name=**psis_distance **! /result_folder=**processed **/event_name_start=**start **/event_name_stop=**stop **/normalize_to_distance=**false **;** normalize to distance results in dividing the resulting perpendicular distance to the distance along the straight path
