the lentgh is centre to centre.

What kind of bike is it?

Measure from centre of stem to centre of bars, but this will give you the hypotenuse of the triangle, so to keep the same stretch i would drop a short plumb line from the centre of the bar and measure from that to the centre of your head set. If I had my Zeus book here I could be more specific, but I aint, so I can't !

Diameter of bars ? measure them !
