L_SetBitmapRgnPolygon

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTDIS_API L_INT L_SetBitmapRgnPolygon(pBitmap, pXForm, pPoints, uPoints, uFillMode, uCombineMode)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
pRGNXFORM pXForm;	/* pointer to a coordinate-translation structure */
L_POINT* pPoints;	/* pointer to an array of POINT structures */
L_UINT uPoints;	/* number of points in the array */
L_UINT uFillMode;	/* indicates how to handle complex crossing lines */
L_UINT uCombineMode;	/* action to take regarding the existing region */

Creates or updates the bitmap region by adding a polygonal region.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap where the region is to be created or updated.
pXForm	Pointer to an RGNXFORM structure that LEADTOOLS uses to translate between display coordinates and bitmap coordinates.
	If you specify NULL in this parameter, the scalar fields default to 1, the offsets default to 0, and the view perspective defaults to the bitmap's view perspective.
pPoints	Pointer to an array of POINT structures. The points in the array must be in the order in which the vertices of the polygon are connected. To create the line that closes the polygon, the last point in the array is connected to the first point of the array.
uPoints	The number of points in the array specified by the pPoints parameter.
uFillMode	Flag that indicates how to handle complex crossing lines. The following are valid values, which are illustrated below:
	Value	Meaning
	L_POLY_WINDING	[0] All pixels that are inside the resulting exterior lines are in the region.
	L_POLY_ALTERNATE	[1] The region includes the area between odd-numbered and even-numbered polygon sides on each scan line.
	$image\winding.gif$
uCombineMode	The action to take regarding the existing bitmap region, if one is defined. For descriptions of the possible values, refer to Creating a Bitmap Region.

Returns

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

Comments

Before calling this function, you must declare an RGNXFORM structure and set its values, which LEADTOOLS uses to translate between device context coordinates and bitmap coordinates. For details about how the structure works refer to the RGNXFORM structure description. For a description of common usage, refer to Translating Coordinates for a Bitmap Region.

To update an existing region, you specify how the new region is to be combined with the existing one. For descriptions of the possibilities, refer to Creating a Bitmap Region.

Example

For complete sample code, refer to the CHILD.C module of the DEMO example. This example creates a polygonal region and, using the alternate fill mode, lightens the part of the bitmap that is in the region.
