virtual L_INT LAnnPolyRuler::GetDistance(pdDistance, pdDistance2=0)
Gets the distance of the Ruler object(s) in the object's unit of measurement, set by LAnnRuler::SetUnit.
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.
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.
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.
