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

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

    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'
