pUnitAbbrev Address of the character string to be updated with the unit abbreviation string to be displayed after the distance.
puUnitAbbrevLen Address of the variable to be updated with the length of the unit abbreviation string.
puRulerPrecision Address of the 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_RULER

ANNOBJECT_POLYRULER

ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR

ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT

In addition, the Automation object (ANNOBJECT_AUTOMATION) stores default unit settings along with the other object default settings.

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 L_AnnSetUnit 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. Call the L_AnnGetUnit function to get the unit of measurement and its precision for the ruler. The L_AnnGetDistance2 function gets the length of each ruler that makes up an object, and the total length of all rulers.

To find out the size of the buffer required by pUnitAbbrev, call L_AnnGetUnit and pass NULL for the pUnitAbbrev parameter.  The length of the pUnitAbbrev string will be returned in the * puUnitAbbrevLen argument.  Allocate a buffer of the appropriate size (*puUnitAbbrevLen + 1).  Then call L_AnnGetUnit a second time and pass the address of the buffer for the pUnitAbbrev argument.
