Per point distance VEX

[kiryha]

I am not able to get per point distance (parallel processing?), got the value from the last iteration in the loop for each point.
 

// Mesure distance between pairs of point in each line
// Return as a @distance attribute
int allPoints[] =  expandpointgroup(0, "!*");
f@distance;

foreach (int currentPoint; allPoints){
    vector pointPosition_L = point(0, 'P', currentPoint);
    vector pointPosition_R = point(1, 'P', currentPoint);
    @distance = distance(pointPosition_L, pointPosition_R); 
    }

You can avoid parallel computing by setting the wrangle to detail or to numbers. A custom loop can then add up some offset value. Here is a rough sketch:

float offset = 0.0;
for(int i = 0; i < @elemnum; i++){
    float size = rand(i + 123);
    vector pos = set(0, 0, offset);
    offset += size * 0.5;
    pos += set(0, 0, offset);
    int pt = addpoint(0, pos);
    setpointattrib(0, "pscale", pt, size * 0.5, "set");
}

Thanks, Konstantin!
A very cool hint is setpointattrib(), I was looking for a way to add point attribute in detail mode!

If you only want to know the distance of the same point id in input 1 you can keep the point wrangle type and the advantages of parallel execution:

f@dist = length(@P - point(1, "P", @ptnum));

Of course this only works if the input 1 has the same number of points as the first input.

my approach using one liners...
