Comments

*MasterMeasure() blocks specify the attributes for a special measure which can provide unit conversion from pixels to selected units on a video or image. Each video or image has one and only one master measure. If all attributes are defined for a master measure, then you have the option of obtaining coordinates and lengths in the given unit system rather than in pixels.

Every *MasterMeasure() statement requires a closing *EndVideoMeasure() statement.
