Task: Write Trails Drawing Feature functions: total_distance

[cgmaiorano]

Description

New functions need to be written for calculating various features for trails. The total_distance function calculates the total distance traveled during "ink time" or times of intentional movement from start to target. This is calculated per segment.

Tasks

• Identify x and y points during "ink time"
• Calculate np.diff of x points and y points to find dx and dy
• distances = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2)
• total distance = sum(distances)

Freeform Notes

This function is dependent on ink time and path optimality is dependent on this function.

[cgmaiorano]

This function will not be a stand alone function. Total distance will be calculated inside compute segment metrics.
