AddGdiRegionToRegion Method
See Also  Example
Leadtools Namespace > RasterImage Class : AddGdiRegionToRegion Method



xform
RasterRegionXForm object that LEADTOOLS uses to translate between display coordinates and image coordinates. If you specify null (Nothing in Visual Basic) in this parameter, the scalar fields default to 1, the offsets default to 0, and the view perspective defaults to the image view perspective.
region
The Windows region handle to add.
combineMode
The action to take regarding the existing image region, if one is defined.
Creates or updates the image region by adding the specified Windows region handle.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)  
Public Sub AddGdiRegionToRegion( _
   ByVal xform As RasterRegionXForm, _
   ByVal region As IntPtr, _
   ByVal combineMode As RasterRegionCombineMode _
)
Visual Basic (Usage) Copy Code
Dim instance As RasterImage
Dim xform As RasterRegionXForm
Dim region As IntPtr
Dim combineMode As RasterRegionCombineMode
 
instance.AddGdiRegionToRegion(xform, region, combineMode)
C#  
public void AddGdiRegionToRegion( 
   RasterRegionXForm xform,
   IntPtr region,
   RasterRegionCombineMode combineMode
)
C++/CLI  
public:
void AddGdiRegionToRegion( 
   RasterRegionXForm^ xform,
   IntPtr region,
   RasterRegionCombineMode combineMode
)

Parameters

xform
RasterRegionXForm object that LEADTOOLS uses to translate between display coordinates and image coordinates. If you specify null (Nothing in Visual Basic) in this parameter, the scalar fields default to 1, the offsets default to 0, and the view perspective defaults to the image view perspective.
region
The Windows region handle to add.
combineMode
The action to take regarding the existing image region, if one is defined.
