LAnnRuler::GetGaugeLength

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_DOUBLE LAnnRuler::GetGaugeLength(L_VOID)

Gets the length of the gauge (the perpendicular lines at the ends of the Ruler object). This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Returns

The object's gauge length.

Comments

The gauge length applies only to LAnnRuler and Ruler objects. Refer to Annotation LAnnRuler Object.

Length is expressed in pixels, not in points. The length is for the whole line, not just from the end point of the ruler to the end point of the gauge - it is from one end of the gauge to the other end of the gauge.

Example

L_VOID ModifyAnnGauge(LAnnRuler L_FAR * pAnnObject)
{
   L_DOUBLE dLength;

   /* if gauge length setting for the Automation object
   is larger than 5 pixels, then make it 5 pixels. */
   dLength = pAnnObject->GetGaugeLength();
   if(dLength > 5.0f)
      pAnnObject->SetGaugeLength( 5.0f, 0);
