Flags for Setting a Region

By default, a bitmap does not have a region. You create a bitmap region by calling one or more of the SetRgn... methods. Each time you call one of these methods, you specify how the new region is to be added to the existing bitmap region (if there is one). The following is a list of the options:

L_RGN_AND	The resulting region includes only the intersection of the existing region and the new one. The following example shows the result, where the rectangles represent the existing region, the ellipse represents the new one, and the shaded area represents the resulting region.

L_RGN_SET	The resulting region includes only the new region. The existing region, if any, is discarded. The following example shows the result, where the ellipse is the new region and the shaded area is the resulting region.

L_RGN_SETNOT	The resulting region includes everything in the bitmap, except the new region. The existing region, if any, is discarded. The following example shows the result, where the ellipse is the new region and the shaded area is the resulting region.

L_RGN_ANDNOTBITMAP	The resulting region includes the intersection of the area outside the existing region and the area inside the new region. The following example shows the result, where the rectangle is the existing region, the ellipse is the new one, and the shaded area is the resulting region.

L_RGN_ANDNOTRGN	The resulting region includes the intersection of the area inside the existing region and the area outside the new region. The following example shows the result, where the rectangle is the existing region, the ellipse is the new one, and the shaded area is the resulting region.

L_RGN_OR	The resulting region includes the area inside the existing region and the area inside the new region. The following example shows the result, where the rectangle is the existing region, the ellipse is the new one, and the shaded area is the resulting region.

L_RGN_XOR	The resulting region includes the area inside the existing region and the area inside the new region, except for any areas where the two intersect. The following example shows the result, where the rectangle is the existing region, the ellipse is the new one, and the shaded area is the resulting region.
