This node is used to measure and visually display distances between two
specified points.
It has two inputs in the form of the two points that the distance has
to be measured between, and one output, namely the distance.
The node is created by the "distanceDimension" command or when the
"distance" tool is used. Either of the points can be moved using the
"move" tool and the distance updates interactively.
