Detailed Description

A diagram item that adds a dimension to the canvas.

Note: The dimension label will not scale with the reset of the diagram. You will need to adjust the font size and possibly the DiagramBuilder's scale adjustment (see DiagramBuilder.SetScaleAdjustment()) to make the label display as desired.

 leg2: The 2D location (tuple) of the base of the second leg.
 leg_length: The length of the shortest dimension leg.
 pull_dir: A 2D vector (tuple) that gives the direction in which to pull
 the dimension line.
 line_args: A dictionary that gives the Tk canvas agruments for the lines
 that make up the dimension lines and legs. These are the same arguments 
 that are provided to Tkinter.Canvas.create_line with the addition of the
