L_EfxPaintTransition

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTEFX_API L_INT L_EfxPaintTransition(hDC, uTransition, crBack, crFore, uSteps, pDest, uEffect, uGrain, uDelay, nSpeed, nCycles, uPass, uMaxPass, fTransparency, crTransparency, uWandWidth, crWand, uROP)

Draws a rectangle into the target device context with the specified fill pattern and color while using a special effect.

Returns

Comments

Use this function to create a special effect screen transition before painting the next image.

Use the uGrain and uDelay parameters to control the speed of the display. The uGrain parameter controls the size of the painting increment, and uDelay controls the time between increments.

The wand is a solid color bar that moves during an effect. Small grain sizes produce the best wand effects. Many of the effects listed in Effect Types can have a wand.

Use the uPass and uMaxPass parameters to paint the image in more than one pass. For example, if you want a 3-pass paint, use uMaxPass of 3 and paint 3 times, once with uPass = 1, once with uPass = 2, and once with uPass = 3.

For general information, refer to Implementing Special Effects.

Multipass painting for the EFX_EFFECT_PUSH_CLASS is disabled.

If the uEffect parameter is from the Twirl class, White Turnover class, Turnover class, Replace class, Laser class, Fade Normal class, Fade Black and White class, Fade Color class or Wave class, the uPass and uMaxPass parameters have no effect.

If the uEffect parameter is from the Fade Normal class, Fade Black and White class or Fade Color class, the uGrain parameter has no effect. However, if the uEffect parameter is from the Wave class, the uGrain parameter contains the wave size.

If the uEffect parameter is from the White Turnover class, the Turnover class or the Replace class, the uWandWidth and crWand parameters have no effect. However, if the uEffect parameter is from the Fade Color class, the crWand parameter contains the bitmap color level.

The nSpeed and nCycles parameters are valid only if the uEffect parameter is from the Wave class.
