#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual HMETAFILE LBitmapBase::CombineBitmapWarp (ptDstArray, pBitmapSrc, ptSrc, nSrcWidth, nSrcHeight, uFlags)

POINT ptDstArray;	/* array of points */
LBitmapBase * pBitmapSrc;	/* pointer to the source bitmap object */
POINT ptSrc;	/* point of origin of the source bitmap */
L_INT nSrcWidth;	/* width of the source area to be warped */
L_INT nSrcHeight;	/* height of the source area to be warped */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* operation flags */

Combines image data from the source bitmap (the slave) and the destination bitmap (the master), using a perspective warp.

Parameter	Description
ptDstArray	An array of POINT structures that contain the four points that define the warp area in the destination bitmap.
pBitmapSrc	Pointer to the bitmap object referencing the source bitmap. This is the slave bitmap, which is combined with the destination bitmap.
ptSrc	POINT structure that contains the point of origin of the source bitmap. This is the upper left corner. This point, along with nSrcWidth and nSrcHeight define the area of the source bitmap to be warped.
nSrcWidth	The width of the area in the source bitmap to be warped to the destination bitmap. This value, along with ptSrc and nSrcHeight define the area of the source bitmap to be warped.
nSrcHeight	The height of the area in the source bitmap to be warped to the destination bitmap. This value, along with ptSrc and nSrcWidth define the area of the source bitmap to be warped.
uFlags	Flags that indicate the type of interpolation to use, if interpolation is used. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	0	No interpolation
	CBW_BILINEAR	Bilinear interpolation. This value is only valid if the bits per pixel of the image is 1-bit, 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit without a lookup table, 16-bit without a lookup table, or 24-, 32-, 48-, or 64-bit.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

You can warp the entire source bitmap, or a portion of the source bitmap. To warp a portion of the source bitmap, set ptSrc, nSrcWidth and nSrcHeight accordingly. To warp the entire source bitmap, set the following:

ptSrc.x = 0;
ptSrc.y = 0;
nSrcWidth = pBitmapSrc.BitmapWidth;
nSrcHeight = pBitmapSrc.BitmapHeight;

The warp area in the destination bitmap is specified in ptDstArray. The polygon specified in ptDstArray must:

$image\sqrblit.gif$ be concave.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ fit entirely on the destination bitmap.

If either of these conditions is FALSE, this function will return an error.

The ordering of the points in ptDstArray can affect the resulting warp. For example, if the source bitmap is the following:

$image\WarpEx1.gif$

then ordering the points in ptDstArray as shown below results in the following warp:

$image\WarpEx2.gif$

while ordering the points in ptDstArray as shown below, results in the following warp:

$image\WarpEx3.gif$

void TestFunction(LBitmap *pMaster,LBitmap *pSlave)

   //load images as 24-bit, so we don't have to worry about palettes
   pMaster->Load(TEXT("d:\\temp\\golf.jpg"), 24, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL);
