LAnnPolyRuler::GetUnit

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_UINT LAnnPolyRuler::GetUnit(pUnitAbbrev, puUnivAbbrevLen, puPrecision)

L_TCHAR * pUnitAbbrev;

character string to be updated with the unit abbreviation string

L_SIZE_T * puUnivAbbrevLen;

address of the integer variable to be updated with the unit abbreviation string

length

L_UINT * puPrecision;

pointer to a variable to be updated

Gets the current unit of measurement values set by the LAnnPolyRuler::SetUnit function.

Parameter	Description
pUnitAbbrev	Character string to be updated with the unit abbreviation string to be displayed after the distance.
puUnivAbbrevLen	Address of the variable to be updated with the length of the unit abbreviation string.
puPrecision	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the number of digits to be displayed after the decimal place.

Returns

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

Comments

The following annotation objects utilize one or more rulers as part of the annotation:

ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT

ANNOBJECT_POLYRULER

ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR

ANNOBJECT_RULER

In addition, the Polyruler object (ANNOBJECT_POLYRULER) stores default ruler settings along with the other object default settings.

To determine the unit of measure for each ruler as well as its precision, call the LAnnPolyRuler::GetUnit function. The default unit of measure for Ruler, Polyruler, and Crossproduct objects is Smart English. With the smart units, the unit changes with the length. For example, if the length is 11 inches (assuming the default precision of 2 is being used), "11.00 in" displays whereas if the length is 15 inches, "1 ft 3.00 in" displays. Call the LAnnPolyRuler::SetUnit function to set the unit of measurement and its precision for the ruler. The precision indicates how many digits to display to the right of the decimal point in the length.
