L_LVKRN_API L_INT L_VecPaintDC(hDC, pVector, uWidth, uHeight, pSrc, pClipSrc, pDst, pClipDst, dwFlags)

L_HDC hDC;	/* handle to the target device context */
const pVECTORHANDLE pVector;	/* pointer to the vector handle */
L_UINT uWidth;	/* desired width of the vector */
L_UINT uHeight;	/* desired height of the vector */
const RECT *pSrc;	/* pointer to the display source rectangle */
const RECT *pSrcClip;	/* pointer to the display source clipping rectangle */
const RECT *pDest;	/* pointer to the display destination rectangle */
const RECT *pDestClip;	/* pointer to the display destination clipping rectangle */
L_UINT32 dwFlags;	/* flags */

Displays any vector, at any size, to any device context (screen, printer, or memory dc).

Parameter	Description
hDC	Handle to a device context, such as a screen, to use as the display surface. The mapping mode of the device context must be MM_TEXT.
pVector	Pointer to the vector handle referencing the vector image to paint.
uWidth	Desired virtual width of the source vector in pixels.
uHeight	Desired virtual height of the source vector in pixels.
pSrc	Pointer to the Windows RECT structure that specifies the part of the vector to use as the display source.
	The coordinates in the RECT structure are relative to the vector. You can pass NULL to use the default, which matches the vector.
pClipSrc	Pointer to the Windows RECT structure that specifies the portion of the display source to paint. Generally, this is used for updating the display when part of the source vector has changed.
	The coordinates in the RECT structure are relative to the vector. You can pass NULL to use the default, which matches the vector.
pDst	Pointer to the Windows RECT structure that determines how the source rectangle is scaled and how the image is positioned in the device context.
	The coordinates in the RECT structure are relative to the device context. There is no default for this parameter. You must specify the RECT structure.
pClipDst	Pointer to the Windows RECT structure that specifies the portion of the display rectangle to paint. Generally, this is used for updating changes in the display surface, such as when a user moves another window, uncovering a part of the image that had been covered up.
	The coordinates in the RECT structure are relative to the device context. You can pass NULL to use the default, which matches the device context. In most cases, however, you should use the rectangle returned by the Windows WM_PAINT message.
dwFlags	Flag that indicates how to perform the paint process. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	VECTOR_PAINT_ERASEBKGND	Use the vector background color to clear the destination area before painting.

Returns

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

Comments

This function emulates the LEAD function using a vector handle instead of a bitmap image.

Since vector images don't have physical width and height, you must pass width and height values to this function to determine the source size. In L_PaintDC, uWidth and uHeight are equal to Bitmap.Width and Bitmap.Height respectively.

For more information on using the source and destination rectangles and the clipping rectangles, refer to .
