Measure Properties

This page describes all measure event properties. All of these properties are only set when the measurement mode has a sensible value for them.

About Units :

  • A coordinate is expressed in the publication CRS unless another CRS was set using the setCRS() function of the API.
  • A distances is expressed in meters.
  • An area is expressed in squared meters.
  • A slope is expressed in percentages.
  • A volume is expressed in cubic meters.
  • An angle is expressed in degrees.
  • A heading is expressed in degrees.

Available properties :

  • coordinate : The unique coordinate of the measurement.
  • coordinates : The coordinates for all measurements.
  • errorXYZ : The measurement error distance for X, Y and Z.
  • errorXY : The measurement error distance for X and Y.
  • errorZ : The measurement error distance for Z.
  • lengthXY : The length of the string of measurements in X and Y.
  • lengthXYZ : The length of the string of measurements in X, Y and Z.
  • height : The height of a box holding all measurements and constructed points.
  • areaXY : The area defined by all measurements in X and Y.
  • areaXYZ : The area defined by all measurements in X, Y and Z.
  • slope : The slope defined by the first and second coordinates.
  • volume : The volume of the measurement.
  • baseline1 : The length of the first baseline.
  • baseline2 : The length of the second baseline.
  • angle : The angle defined by two lines.
  • heading : The heading defined by a vector (0° north, clockwise direction).

Note that the height property also takes 'construction points' into account. For example when using measurePointDrop mode, a point on the ground is constructed. The height property then holds the distance from the measurement to the constructed point on the ground.

Note on the errorXYZ, errorXY and errorZ fields : When the measurement mode needs multiple measurements, these properties holds the average error for all measurements made.

The table below describes which properties are returned when measuring in a specific measuring mode. On top are the measuring modes, on your left are the measurement properties.
