wherex1,
y1, x2,
y2 are world coordinate
values and may be expressed as numbers or strings.CImage:DistanceWcsStr
The DistanceWcsStr method calculates the distance in WCS units between 2 image points measured in world coordinates and returns the result as a string. The related Distance method computes the Distance for pixel coordinates.

sDistance = CImage:DistanceWcsStr( x1, y1, x2, y2) |
wherex1,
y1, x2,
y2 are world coordinate
values and may be expressed as numbers or strings.
On
success, this method returns the distance as a string.
On
failure, this method returns nil
The DistanceWcsStr method returns a distance in world coordinate units as a string. Also see the related DistanceWcs method that returns the world coordinate calibrated distance as a number.
Assume an image is displayed and attached to a CImageView named V. The following script measures the Distance between between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) when the coordinates are in distance units (pixels, mm, microns, etc.):
|
|
-- load the image from a |
|
|
-- point 1 |
|
|
-- point 2 |
|
|
-- make the measurement, returns a string |
Alternatively, the following example supposes an astronomical image with an equatorial calibration and that the points are expressed in angular units:
|
V:GetImage() |
-- load the image from a |
|
x1 = "05:42:15.52" ; y1 = "20:40:12.5" |
-- point 1 |
|
x2 = "05:42:44.12" ; y2 = "20:42:42.1" |
-- point 2 |
|
sD = I:DistanceWcsStr(x1,y1,x2,y2) |
-- make the measurement, returns a string |
