# MeasurementFeatureDescription

Measurement Description access function

## SYNOPSIS

`#include "dip_measurement.h"`

dip_Error dip_MeasurementFeatureDescription ( measurement, featureID, description, resources )

## FUNCTION

The `MeasurementObjectData`, `MeasurementObjectValue` and `MeasurementFeatureDescription` functions provide access to the functions that are registered by each measurement function. See also `MeasurementFeatureRegister`.

This function gives access to a structure containing the name, a short description of the measurement feature, as well as the labels and units of the data measured by the feature specified with `featureID`. Use the functions `FeatureDescriptionGetName`, `FeatureDescriptionGetDescription`, `FeatureDescriptionGetLabels` and `FeatureDescriptionGetUnits` to access the values in the `description` structure.

## ARGUMENTS

Data type | Name | Description
`dip_Measurement` | `measurement` | Measurement data structure
`dip_int` | `featureID` | Measurement feature ID
`dip_FeatureDescription *` | `description` | Pointer to a dip_FeatureDescription structure containing a description of the specified feature
`dip_Resources` | `resources` | Resources tracking structure. See `ResourcesNew`
