#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTANN_API L_INT L_AnnGetDistance(hObject, pdDistance, pdDistance2)

HANNOBJECT hObject;	/* handle to the annotation automation object */
L_DOUBLE *pdDistance;	/* address of the variable that will be updated with the distance of a ruler object */
L_DOUBLE *pdDistance2;	/* address of the variable that will be updated with the distance of a ruler object */

Gets the distance of the Ruler object in the object's unit of measurement, set by L_AnnSetUnit. This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Parameter	Description
hObject	Handle to the annotation automation object.
pdDistance	Address of the variable to be updated with the distance of the ruler object. For objects having only one ruler, this variable will be updated with the length. For cross products, which have two rulers, this variable will be updated with the length of the primary ruler.
pdDistance2	Address of the variable to be updated with the distance of the ruler object. For cross products and protractors, which have two rulers, this variable will be updated with the length of the secondary ruler.

Comments

Either pdDistance or pdDistance2 can be NULL, but not both. If either of these pointers is NULL, the distance for that ruler will not be retrieved.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.
