Calibrating measurements

The Image a•X controls allow you to measure distances on an image by first defining a scale factor to be used when measuring. You can set your own scale for a page, which acts like a scale on a map. For example, you can say that 1 measured cm equals 100 cm. In this example, the scale factor would be 0.01.

To request the current calibration value:

· Use the GetPageCalibration method.

The reply indicates whether or not a calibration has been set, and if so, what its scale factor and units are.

To calibrate a page by defining a scale factor and units:

· Use the SetPageCalibration method.

That scale factor is used for future measurements on that page.

If scripting in Web pages, use the PageCalibrationScaleFactor, PageCalibrationUnits, and PageCalibrationSet properties instead.
