Depending on the thickness of the fibres, you may be able to use
David Fanning's Find_Boundary routine, which returns the perimeter
of an object, amongst other bits of info. If the fibre is really quite
"skinny", then the length could be simply perimeter/2.0 ?? How accurate
do
you need to be is the other question...
