TotalSmartUnit property (ILEADRasterAnnotation)

Visual Basic example

Visual C++ 5.0 example

Syntax

double TotalSmartUnit;

Overview

Refer to Implementing Annotations.

Remarks

(Read Only) Gets a value that indicates the unit of measure for the total length of all rulers, found in the TotalDistance property. Possible values are:

ANN_UNIT_INCHES

0

ANN_UNIT_FEET

1

ANN_UNIT_YARDS

2

ANN_UNIT_MICROMETERS

3

ANN_UNIT_MILLIMETERS

4

ANN_UNIT_CENTIMETERS

5

ANN_UNIT_METERS

6

ANN_UNIT_TWIPS

7

ANN_UNIT_POINTS

8

ANN_UNIT_PIXELS

9

Please note that if the TotalRulerUnit property is ANN_UNIT_SMART_METRIC or ANN_UNIT_SMART_ENGLISH, then the actual unit of measure can be found in the TotalSmartUnit property. If the TotalRulerUnit property is not ANN_UNIT_SMART_METRIC or ANN_UNIT_SMART_ENGLISH, then both the TotalRulerUnit property and the TotalSmartUnit property contain the unit of measure.

A "smart unit" is a unit that can be automatically promoted to the next higher unit.

For example, suppose you have a ruler that is 13 inches long. If the units of the ruler are ANN_UNIT_INCHES, then the length is 13. However, if the units of the ruler are ANN_UNIT_SMART_ENGLISH, then the length of the ruler is automatically promoted to feet. The length in this case would be 1.0833 feet.
