That is not quite correct. Distances are taken to be
Euclidean (sqrt of sum of squared differences).
The maximum pairwise displacement from 1d_tool.py is
computed as follows. Let the distance between any two
time points be the Euclidean distance of the motion
parameters in 6 dimensions (sqrt(sum squares of 6 diffs)).
The help shows how to understand this in 1 dimension
just as a simple example (where Euclidean dist is the
same as abs(diff)). But that does not extend to the
6 dimensional space.
