L_SetBitmapRgnRect

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTDIS_API L_INT L_SetBitmapRgnRect(pBitmap, pXForm, pRect, uCombineMode)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
pRGNXFORM pXForm;	/* pointer to a coordinate-translation structure */
L_RECT* pRect;	/* pointer to the rectangular region */
L_UINT uCombineMode;	/* action to take regarding the existing region */

Creates or updates the bitmap region by adding a rectangular 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.
pRect	Pointer to the windows RECT structure that specifies the rectangular region. You specify the structure using device context coordinates, and LEADTOOLS translates the coordinates using the values specified in the pXForm parameter.
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 rectangular region and lightens the part of the bitmap that is in the region.
