L_VecAddObject

#include "lvkrn.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_VecAddObject(pVector, pLayer, nType, pObjectDesc, pNewObject)

pVECTORHANDLE pVector;	/* pointer to a vector handle */
const pVECTORLAYER pLayer;	/* pointer to a vector layer */
L_INT nType;	/* object type */
const L_VOID L_FAR * pObjectDesc;	/* pointer to a vector object */
pVECTOROBJECT pNewObject;	/* pointer to the new vector object */

Adds a new object to a vector layer. This function is available in the LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Pro Toolkit.

Parameter	Description
pVector	Pointer to the destination vector handle.
pLayer	Pointer to the destination vector layer.
nType	Type of object to add. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	VECTOR_ARC	Arc.
	VECTOR_CHORD	Chord.
	VECTOR_CIRCLE	Circle.
	VECTOR_CLONE	Clone object of a vector group.
	VECTOR_ELLIPSE	Ellipse.
	VECTOR_ELLIPTICALARC	Elliptical arc.
	VECTOR_LINE	Line.
	VECTOR_PIE	Pie section.
	VECTOR_POLYBEZIER	Poly Bezier curve.
	VECTOR_POLYDRAW	Polydraw.
	VECTOR_POLYGON	Polygon.
	VECTOR_POLYLINE	Polyline.
	VECTOR_RASTER	Raster.
	VECTOR_RECTANGLE	Rectangle.
	VECTOR_STOCK	Stock object from a stock library.
	VECTOR_TEXT	Text.
	VECTOR_VERTEX	3D vertex in space.
pObjectDesc	Pointer to a vector object that contains information about the object to add.
pNewObject	Pointer to a VECTOROBJECT structure that references the newly added object.

Returns

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

Comments

If pLayer is NULL, the object will be added to the current active layer within the vector handle.

If pNewObject is NULL, this pointer will not be updated with the address of the newly added object.

You may need to cast from your given object type (VECTORPOLYGON, VECTORTEXT, etc) when using this function. (See the example below.)

Example

/* This example will add a new red line from 1.0, 1.0, 0.0 to 2.0, 2.0, 0.0 to the vector handle */
L_VOID AddNewLine( pVECTORHANDLE pVector )
{
   VECTORLINE     Line;

   /* Init the new object */
   L_VecInitObject( &Line.Object );

   Line.Object.nSize = sizeof( VECTORLINE );
   Line.Object.nType = VECTOR_LINE;

   Line.Point[ 0 ].x = 1.0;
   Line.Point[ 0 ].y = 1.0;
   Line.Point[ 0 ].z = 0.0;

   Line.Point[ 1 ].x = 2.0;
   Line.Point[ 1 ].y = 2.0;
   Line.Point[ 1 ].z = 0.0;

   Line.Pen.nSize = sizeof( VECTORPEN );
   Line.Pen.bExtPen = FALSE;
   Line.Pen.NewPen.LogPen.lopnStyle = PS_SOLID;
   Line.Pen.NewPen.LogPen.lopnWidth.x = 1;
   Line.Pen.NewPen.LogPen.lopnWidth.y = 0;
   Line.Pen.NewPen.LogPen.lopnColor = RGB( 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00 );

   /* add to current active layer */
   L_VecAddObject ( pVector, NULL, VECTOR_LINE, &Line, NULL );
