## YY.2 An Example of Distance Line Defined As A Combined Graphic Object

Now, a distance line is defined as a combined graphic object, i.e., grouping a text object with a polyline graphic object (see Figure YY-2). Distance lines are typically used for measurements and for computing the grayscale values along this line to build up a profile curve.

This simple example is intended to show how the Graphic Group ID (0070,0295) is used for grouping of graphic annotations.
