Quantitative distribution of 'cloud to cloud(mesh) distance'

Hello,
Besides the scalar map generated after 'cloud to cloud(mesh) distance', is it possible to get a quantitative distribution report (eg. percentage of points closer than 2mm) in CloudCompare?

You can use the 'Histogram' tool. Clicking anywhere on the histogram window will make a vertical line appear with the percentage of values falling before this line.

Alternatively you can use the 'Edit > Scalar fields > Filter by value' tool to extract the points in a given interval and then compare the number of points before and after filtering.
