Example

Here is an example that shows how to measure the diagonal size, in pixels, of image in image viewer:


''' <summary>
''' Returns the diagonal size of image in image viewer in pixels.
''' </summary>
''' <param name="viewer">An image viewer.</param>
''' <returns>The diagonal size of image in image viewer in pixels.</returns>
''' <remarks>
''' Creates a measurement annotation to measure the diagonal.
''' </remarks>

    ' create the image measure tool
    Dim imageMeasureTool As New Vintasoft.Imaging.Annotation.Measurements.ImageMeasureTool()
