| Vortex provides several sensors for measuring distances between geometries, detecting overlaps and more. |
...
Please note the following limitations in the current state of the Lidar Sensor extension.
- No modeling of reflection intensity and generally any surface properties other than the geometry itself
- No modeling of noise or inaccuracies in the acquired data
- No multi-echo support, as in Hokuyo YVT-35LX
- No modeling of sine wave scanning patterns, as in Hokuyo YVT-35LX

This example shows how to generate an image from the captured distance field in Python using Pillow. Because the default Python interpreter provided by Vortex doesn't include Pillow, make sure to follow these steps read Integrating Vortex Studio using Python 3 to use your own Python environment.
The following example is in Python 3. To use with Python 2, simply rename the Vortex module to VxSim.
Note that because the sensor processing is done asynchronously, this wont yield any result at the start of the simulation.
