L_AnnDefine2

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_AnnDefine2(hObject, apt, uState)

HANNOBJECT hObject;

/* handle to the annotation object */

pANNPOINT apt;

/* pointer to an ANNPOINT structure */

L_UINT uState;

/* state of the process of modifying the annotation object */

Specifies the shape when creating or transforming an annotation object. This function specifies one point in the current window each time it is called. This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Parameter

Description

hObject

Handle to the annotation object.

apt

Pointer to an ANNPOINT structure. The specified point is in container coordinates.

uState

State of the process of modifying the annotation object. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT

[13] This is an anchor point. Use this value when rotating an annotation object around a point other than its center. When doing this, call L_AnnDefine2 with this flag set prior to calling L_AnnDefine2 with the ANNDEFINE_BEGINROTATE flag set.

 

ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT

[11] This is a starting point, used when moving one point on an annotation object. This can be used to move a single point on any of the following annotation objects:

 

 

ANNOBJECT_LINE

 

 

ANNOBJECT_POLYLINE

 

 

ANNOBJECT_POLYGON

 

 

ANNOBJECT_POINTER

 

 

ANNOBJECT_FREEHAND

 

 

ANNOBJECT_FREEHANDHOTSPOT

 

 

ANNOBJECT_RULER

 

 

ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT

 

 

ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR

 

 

ANNOBJECT_CURVE

 

 

ANNOBJECT_CURVECLOSED

 

 

You can use ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT to perform a simultaneous rotate and resize for the following objects:

 

 

(Note that you must set an anchor point prior to using ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT)

 

 

ANNOBJECT_RECT

 

 

ANNOBJECT_ELLIPSE

 

 

ANNOBJECT_HILITE

 

 

ANNOBJECT_REDACT

 

 

ANNOBJECT_TEXT

 

 

ANNOBJECT_NOTE

 

 

ANNOBJECT_STAMP

 

 

ANNOBJECT_HOTSPOT

 

 

When doing this, call L_AnnDefine2 with the ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT flag set prior to calling L_AnnDefine2 with the ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT flag set.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function is used only with the following states:

image\sqrblit.gif ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT

image\sqrblit.gif ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT

If you try to use a uState value other than ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT or ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT, the function returns ERROR_INV_PARAMETER.

This function is similar to L_AnnDefine, except that L_AnnDefine2 takes a point in container coordinates, whereas L_AnnDefine takes a point in client coordinates.

Use this function when additional accuracy is required when setting an anchor point, or doing a simultaneous rotate and resize. This function should be used in conjunction with L_AnnDefine.

As an example, suppose you want to rotate and resize the rectangle around the anchor point aptAnchor by moving the point aptMove, as shown in the following figure:

image\Ann14Doc_2.gif

This can be done by using only L_AnnDefine, but because L_AnnDefine takes integral arguments and aptAnchor and aptMove are not integral, the rotate and resize will not be exact.

To solve this and accurately perform simultaneous rotation and resizing, use L_AnnDefine2 and L_AnnDefine as follows:

ANNPOINT aptAnchor; 
ANNPOINT aptMove;
aptMove.x = 10.2;
aptMove.y = 10.5
aptAnchor.x = 10.2;
aptAnchor.y = 50.5
ptLocation.x = 10;
ptLocation.y = 20;
L_AnnDefine2
(hObject,  &aptAnchor, ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT);
L_AnnDefine2
(hObject,  &aptMove, ANNDEFINE_BEGINROTATE);
// One or more ANNDEFINE_APPEND
L_AnnDefine
(pData->hObjectChange, &pMousePos->pt, ANNDEFINE_APPEND); 
L_AnnDefine(pData->hObjectChange, &pMousePos->pt, ANNDEFINE_END);
