Calculates the lengths of each specified polyline.
Syntax
Parameters
- graphics
- The graphics used to calculate lengths.
- lengthUnit
- The length unit in which perimeters of polygons will be calculated. If unit is not specified, the units are derived from the Spatial Reference of the geometry.
- geodesic
- If polylines are in geographic coordinate system, then geodesic needs to be set to true in order to calculate the ellipsoidal shortest path distance between each pair of the vertices in the polylines. The output if lengthUnit is not specified is returned in meters.
Return Value
Returns a collection of lengths of each polyline that was passed into the function. The result length will be in the unit of measurement indicated by the "lengthUnit" parameter. If no "lengthUnit" is passed then the result length will be expressed in the same units as the spatial reference.
Requirements
Target Platforms: Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 family
