Overview
The example demonstrates how to calculate the distance or length respectively between two points or a line of an IMAQ Image Region of Interest (ROI).
Description
The example shows how to use the Region of Interest (ROI) tools for an IMAQ Image to get the length of a line or the distance between two points. This can be helpful for performing distance measurements, defining calibration parameters, or comparing the size of components in an image.
