LAnnCrossProduct::GetDistance2

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnCrossProduct::GetDistance2(puCount, pDistance, pTotalDistance, uStructSize)

Gets the length of each ruler that makes up an object, and the total length of all rulers. It works for ANNOBJECT_RULER, ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR, ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT, and ANNOBJECT_POLYRULER annotation objects.

Parameters

L_UINT *puCount

Address of an unsigned integer to be updated with the total number of rulers that make up the object. This indicates the size of the pDistance array (number of total rulers).

pANNSMARTDISTANCE pDistance

Pointer to array of ANNSMARTDISTANCE elements. You must allocate an array that is (*puCount) elements in length. Pass NULL if you do not want this information.

pANNSMARTDISTANCE pTotalDistance

Address of an ANNSMARTDISTANCE variable. Returns the total length of all rulers that make up the annotation object. Pass NULL if you do not want this information.

L_UINT uStructSize

Size of the ANNSMARTDISTANCE structure. Use sizeof(ANNSMARTDISTANCE).

Returns

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

Comments

This function works only for the following objects:

ANNOBJECT_RULER
ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR
ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT
ANNOBJECT_POLYRULER

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

ANNOBJECT_RULER always has one distance
ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR and ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT always have two distances
ANNOBJECT_POLYRULER can have from one to any number of distances

To use this function with the ANNOBJECT_POLYRULER, call it twice, as shown in the following code excerpt. For the first call, pass NULL for pDistance and pTotalDistance. This returns the total number of rulers that make up the object. Allocate the appropriately sized array, and then call the function again.

L_UINT uCount; 
pANNSMARTDISTANCE pDistance; 
ANNSMARTDISTANCE TotalDistance; 
pCrossProduct->GetDistance2(&uCount, NULL, NULL, sizeof(ANNSMARTDISTANCE)); 
pDistance = (pANNSMARTDISTANCE)malloc(uCount * sizeof(ANNSMARTDISTANCE)); 
pCrossProduct->GetDistance2(&uCount, pDistance, &TotalDistance, sizeof(ANNSMARTDISTANCE));
