L_PrintBitmapFast
#include "l_bitmap.h"
HDC EXT_FUNCTION L_PrintBitmapFast (hDC, pBitmap, nX, nY, nWidth, nHeight, fEndDoc)
|
HDC hDC; |
/* handle to the target device context (DC) */ |
|
pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap; |
/* pointer to the bitmap handle */ |
|
L_INT nX; |
/* x position to start the print */ |
|
L_INT nY; |
/* y position to start the print */ |
|
L_INT nWidth; |
/* printed width */ |
|
L_INT nHeight; |
/* printed height */ |
|
L_BOOL fEndDoc; |
/* end of document indicator */ |
Prints a bitmap to the specified device. (This is the same as the L_PrintBitmap function, except that it does no preprocessing of the image.)
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
|
hDC |
Handle to the device context (DC) where the bitmap is to print. The mapping mode of the device context must be MM_TEXT. |
|
|
pBitmap |
Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to print. |
|
|
nX |
X position to start the print. |
|
|
nY |
Y position to start the print. |
|
|
nWidth |
The printed width. The value is in dots, and the actual width depends on the dots per inch (DPI) of the printer. |
|
|
nHeight |
The printed width. The value is in dots, and the actual width depends on the dots per inch (DPI) of the printer. |
|
|
fEndDoc |
This is used to let LEADTOOLS know whether you plan to print another image on the same page or not. |
|
|
|
Value |
Meaning |
|
|
TRUE |
LEADTOOLS will free the hDC and send a paper eject. |
|
|
FALSE |
LEADTOOLS will assume that you plan to print another bitmap. |
Returns
|
>0 |
Function was successful. If bEndDOC is FALSE, the return value is the printer HDC. |
|
0 |
An error occurred. |
Comments
The function is designed to let you print multiple bitmaps on the same page. To do so, call the function with the fEndDoc argument set to FALSE for each image except the last one on the page. Then call the function with the fEndDoc argument set to TRUE. If you do not set the fEndDoc argument to TRUE on the last call, the hDC will not be freed, and the page will not flush.
If pBitmap is NULL, the nX, nY, nWidth, and nHeight arguments are ignored and the returned DC is to the default printer, with the Window’s API functions StartDoc and StartPage already called. If fEndDoc is FALSE, you can use the returned hDC to draw to the current printer page. If you’re printing more than one page and you passed FALSE for fEndDoc, be sure to call EndPage then StartPage between each call to L_PrintBitmapFast.
An alternative for greater flexibility is the L_PaintDC function, which you can use by specifying the printer as the display surface.

/* Get the printer DC */

}
/* Print the first image */
