LBitmapBase::Trim

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmapBase::Trim(nCol, nRow, uWidth, uHeight)

virtual L_INT LBitmapBase::Trim(prcTrim)

L_INT nCol;	/* x coordinate origin of the rectangle to keep */
L_INT nRow;	/* y coordinate origin of the rectangle to copy */
L_UINT uWidth;	/* width of the rectangle to keep (in pixels) */
L_UINT uHeight;	/* height of the rectangle to keep (in pixels) */
LPRECT prcTrim;	/* pointer to a RECT structure */

Trims the class object's bitmap, resulting in a new bitmap that is the size of the specified rectangle. If a region is defined for the bitmap, the region is also trimmed if necessary.

Parameter	Description
nCol	The X coordinate of the pixel within the bitmap that is the origin of the rectangle to keep.
nRow	The Y coordinate of the pixel within the bitmap that is the origin of the rectangle to keep.
uWidth	Width of the rectangle to keep (in pixels).
uHeight	Height of the rectangle to keep (in pixels).
prcTrim	Pointer to a RECT structure that contains information about the rctangle to keep.

Returns

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

Comments

Use this function instead of LBitmapBase::CopyRect when the original bitmap is not needed after the trim.

This function uses bitmap coordinates to specify the area to be copied. Therefore, you must account for the view perspective of the bitmap. For information about bitmap coordinates, refer to Accounting for View Perspective.

Example

This is an example for LBitmapBase::Trim(nCol, nRow, uWidth, uHeight):

LBitmapBase MyBitmap;

MyBitmap.SetFileName(TEXT("image1.cmp"));
MyBitmap.Load(24);
MyBitmap.Trim(10,15,100,200);

This is an example for LBitmapBase::Trim(RECT* prcTrim):

LBitmapBase MyBitmap;
RECT Rect={10,10,200,300};

MyBitmap.SetFileName(TEXT("image1.cmp"));
MyBitmap.Load(24);
MyBitmap.Trim(&Rect);
