Dynamic length name


Use pgfplots and a custom length to define global width when inputing the plotOther than syntax what is the difference between dimen0= and setlength{}{}?Changing options based on generated document lengthSet a length that will adopt tikz's global lengthsA reusable newlength (no stop/break if length already defined)Dynamic length variable with argument? (like “setlength{foo}[1]{0.5+#1*0.5}”)Trim size as fundamental TeX valueHow to link 2 lengthsHow can I get all the defined lengths in a document?Newenvironment - find the length of input

I want to create something like in object, that saves it's own location in latex. Because I don't know how to create a objec in latex, I want to create a length with seperating name for each object. Like that: (Dont worry umlPositionX and umlPositionY is defined before)



newcommand{umlClass}[1]{
newlength{umlPositionX#1}
setlength{umlPositionX#1}{umlPositionX}
newlength{umlPositionY#1}
setlength{umlPositionY#1}{umlPositionY}
}


Now I want to get the position of the object like that:



newcommand{umlXPositionOf}[1]{setlength{umlPositionX}{umlPositionX#1}
newcommand{umlYPositionOf}[1]{setlength{umlPositionY}{umlPositionY#1}


But it is not possible, to create a length with dynamic name like that. I always get the error:




Command umlPositionX already defined.




I think it is because the #1 does not belong to the name of the length.
