Thank you for your answer.

It would indeed be very helpful for sander to include such capabilities. My
project however does not focus on methodology, so I cannot invest much time
into implementing such features into sander. I will need to somehow
circumvent this problem.

I was reffering to xplor-nih previously, but indeed camshift does a very
nice job based on simple functions, easily differentiable with respect to
cartesian coordinates.

If you have the time, just out of curiosity, in what way do the data
structures need to be modified?

Best regards,

Alexandra
