L_PntDrawShapeEllipse

#include "LtPnt.h"

L_LTPNT_API L_INT L_PntDrawShapeEllipse(pPaint, UserDC, prcRect)

pPAINTHANDLE pPaint;	/* pointer to a paint handle */
L_HDC UserDC;	/* handle to the device context */
const LPRECT prcRect;	/* pointer to a RECT structure */

Draws an ellipse using the specified points.

Parameter	Description
pPaint	Pointer to a paint handle.
UserDC	Handle to a device context, such as a screen, to use as a display surface. This parameter can also be NULL. The mapping mode of the device context must be MM_TEXT.
prcRect	Pointer to a RECT structure that specifies the ellipses bounding rectangle.

Returns

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

Comments

The ellipse will be drawn using the current shape properties. To determine the current shape properties, call L_PntGetProperty. To set or change the current shape properties, call L_PntSetProperty. For more information on the shape properties, refer to the PAINTSHAPE structure.

If UserDC is not NULL, the toolkit will paint the ellipse on the specified device context. If UserDC is NULL, the ellipse will not be painted on a device context.

If the UserDC is not NULL, the user should set the DC boundaries before calling this function, by calling L_PntSetDCExtents.

If a bitmap has been set using the L_PntSetMetrics function, the ellipse will be drawn on the specified bitmap. If UserDC is not NULL and a bitmap has been set using the L_PntSetMetrics function, then the ellipse will be drawn to both the device context and the bitmap.
