$image\sqrblit.gif$ ANN_OBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT

$image\sqrblit.gif$ ANN_OBJECT_POLYRULER

The ANN_OBJECT_POLYRULER object is composed of a variable number of rulers. The other ruler objects are composed of a predetermined number of rulers, as follows:

ANN_OBJECT_RULER always has one distance.

ANN_OBJECT_PROTRACTOR and ANN_OBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT always have two distances.

ANN_OBJECT_POLYRULER can have from one to any number of distances.
