Rack and pinion distance Help
I need to find the distance of one rotation of a pinion in a rack and pinion setup. I need a formula because I'm programming it and I can change the distance i need easily.

So if i have a rack (movable) with a pinion (stationary) in my hands i need to know how far the rack moves with one rotation of the pinion. What do i need to measure in order to know. (example teeth #, teeth length, ect.)
