HENHMETAFILE EXT_FUNCTION L_VecConvertToEMF(hDC, pVector, pRect, uDPI)
HDC hDC; |
/* handle to a device context */ |
const pVECTORHANDLE pVector; |
/* pointer to a vector handle */ |
const RECT L_FAR pRect; |
/* bounding rectangle */ |
L_UINT uDPI; |
/* DPI value */ |
Converts a LEAD Technologies vector handle into an enhanced Windows metafile (EMF). When this function is completed, there are two copies of the drawing in memory: the EMF and the original LEAD vector. Freeing one will not affect the other.
Parameter |
Description |
hDC |
Handle to the device context responsible for the conversion. |
pVector |
Pointer to a vector handle that references the vector image to be converted. |
pRect |
Points to a RECT structure that specifies the dimensions (in .01-millimeter units) of the picture to be stored in the enhanced metafile. If this parameter is NULL, the vector toolkit computes the dimensions of the smallest rectangle that surrounds the vector drawing. The pRect parameter should be provided where possible. |
uDPI |
Dots per inch that will be used in the conversion. |
Returns
!NULL |
A handle to the EMF. |
NULL |
An error occurred. |
Comments
This function allocates an EMF handle and copies the LEAD vector to the EMF.
If this function is called with pRect containing these values:
pRect->left = 0;
pRect->top = 0;
pRect->right = 1000;
pRect->bottom = 1000;
the vector drawing will be converted to an EMF file with logical size 0 to 10 mm. in width and height.
This is very helpful when printing. For example, determine the printer’s printable area in millimeters. Divide that value by 100 and pass the resulting value as the right and bottom members of the RECT structure. The resulting EMF will have the same logical size as the printer, resulting in high image quality when printing the EMF file.

/* Free the vector */
