LAnnProtractor::GetDistance

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnProtractor::GetDistance(pdDistance, pdDistance2)

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 rulers in the object's unit of measurement, set by LAnnProtractor::SetProtractorOptions.

Parameter	Description
pdDistance	Address of the variable to be updated with the distance of the primary ruler. Since protractors 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 secondary ruler. Since protractors 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.
