JBOX - distance measuring

[salah jubeh]

Hi Guys
   
  I want to know how this function works - what are these parameters s, t, and specially c.
   
  also is there is any way to do this without applets. since the client has to download java VM and many times compatibility problems occurs.
   
  Thanks in advance.
   
  function measure_handler(name, s, t, n, a) {
// c = 1 / 72dpi / 12inches_per_foot * 1.0003state_plane_scale_factor
var c = 0.0011577546296296; // constant
var f = [scale] * c; // scale factor
if ((s>0) || (t>0)) {
defaultStatus = "This segment = " + s*f + ", Total = " + t*f + ", Number of vertices = " + n ;
}
}
