For Angle, I'm guessing it basically measures the largest angle between two nodes and the directions they're pointing, correct? Would there be any way to measure the angle created by three points instead? So like, the angle created between the foot, knee and hip points during a leg bend?

Yep! That exactly how it works.

I'm sure you *could* measure the angle between points (but it would take more of a custom plugin I suspect). Out of curiosity, what's the use case there?

Basically, I have some bend morphs that I want to use automaticaly. I have a couple that morph the hip/buttocks area when the knee bends up. I currently have it working with your plugin using distance between the knee and the chest node, but it's not perfect. The knee bend morphs worked well enough but the hip ones don't quite.

So you would want to... say... measure the angle at the hip between the chest and knee (as the two extra points)?

Correct.
