Finding farthest node between 2 groups

Question

Is there any API to find the farthest nodes between 2 node groups like we have to find the shortest node(hm_measureshortestdistance)?

Maybe some ideas:

*  		Compute mean (geometrical) node N1 of Group_1 	
 	*  		Compute mean node N2 of Group_2 	
 	*  		Compute the line (Delta) passing by N1 & N2 	
 	*  		On the line Delta, choose two Point A & B which covers two groups. 	
 	*  		Compute the distance AB by using their coordinates 	
 	*  		Compute the distance D_A & D_B thanks to 'hm_measureshortestdistance'

How can i do the same in script?

You can estimate simply as show in below picture : D = D_AB - (D_A + D_B)
