If you're talking about the inking of the tongue palatography, then no. That's usually for consonants as the paint allows the researcher to see where the tongue hit the inside of the mouth (ex alveolar ridge, soft palate etc). Vowels do not allow the tongue to touch these, so palatography in this manner would not help. An electronic version, sort of like an X-ray or MRI of the mouth would, as it would be able to see where in one's mouth their tongue was held to produce the vowel, showing it's height. So it depends on the kind you're using.
