It is true that this perimeter measurement is affected
by pixelation. I've found that by first smoothing the
data before I calculate the ISOCONTOUR, then using
those values for the IDLanROI object, I can get
within a couple of percent of the actual value, as
opposed to the normal 15-17%.

By the way, I just noticed that the connectivity
and vertices values on the ISOCONTOUR command are
actually reversed from what is printed in the on-line
help. That may explain a bit of my confusion. :-)

Cheers,

David
