TIEGlobalSettings.DefaultMeasureUnit
Declaration
property DefaultMeasureUnit: TIEUnits;
Description
Specifies the default units used for
RulerUnits for line layers and when using
miMeasureLength,
miMeasureRect or
miMeasureEllipse.
Default: ieuPixels
Note: This can be overridden for line layers by
LayerDefaults// Enable measuring of lengths in image (Imperial)
// Set scale of 250 pixels = one inch
ImageEnView1.SetScale( 250, 1, ieuInches );
IEGlobalSettings().DefaultMeasureUnit := ieuInches;
ImageEnView1.Update();
ImageEnView1.MouseInteractGeneral := [ miMeasureLength ];
// Enable measuring of lengths in image (Metric)
// Set 100 pixels = 4cm
ImageEnView1.SetScale( 100, 4, ieuCentimeters );
IEGlobalSettings().DefaultMeasureUnit := ieuCentimeters;
ImageEnView1.Update();
ImageEnView1.MouseInteractGeneral := [ miMeasureLength ];
// Update all layers to use the default measurement (i.e. after a change)
ImageEnView1.LayersSetProperties( LYR_ALL_LAYERS, IELP_RulerUnits, IntToStr( ord( IEGlobalSettings().DefaultMeasureUnit )));
