Hello Sergio,

perpendicularArea does.. It has almost no documentation and the results I
sent are a bit wild.. So from my point of view it is not valid even for
spheres themself :-)

If you want to look something in the source code, you can use the
downloaded trunk version (as you already mentioned), or you can use
launchpad [1].

I think your question should not be difficult to answer or to implement a
new function for you (as you use yade-daily, you could use it almost
imediatelly). The only problem is, that I don't know exactly what you mean
by "projected area (respect to the axis) of several clumps" (at least I can
imagine more meanings of that). Could you maybe draw a simple sketch and
place it somewhere to the internet with the link in next email?

Thanks
Jan
