L_AnnConvert

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTANN_API L_INT L_AnnConvert(hContainer, pPoints, pAnnPoints, nCount, nConvert)

HANNOBJECT hContainer;	/* handle to the annotation container */
LPPOINT pPoints;	/* array of points in client coordinates */
pANNPOINT pAnnPoints;	/* array of points in container coordinates */
L_INT nCount;	/* number of points in the arrays (pPoints, pAnnPoints) */
L_INT nConvert;	/* direction of conversion */

Use this function to convert back and forth between container coordinates and client coordinates.

This function is available in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

Parameter	Description
hContainer	Handle to the annotation container
pPoints	Array of points in client coordinates. Client coordinates factor in the current zoom factor, and the horizontal and vertical scrolling
pAnnPoints	Array of points in container coordinates. Container coordinates are typically the same dimensions of the underlying bitmap, and are independent of zooming and scrolling.
nCount	Number of points in the arrays (pPoints, pAnnPoints)
nConvert	A value that specifies the direction of the conversion. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	ANNCONVERT_TO_CONTAINER	[1] Convert to container coordinates
	ANNCONVERT_TO_CLIENT	[2] Convert to client coordinates

Returns

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

Comments

Use this function to convert back and forth between container coordinates and client coordinates.

The number of elements in both the pPoints and pAnnPoints arrays must be AT LEAST equal to nCount.

When nConvert is ANNCONVERT_TO_CONTAINER, the pPoints array must contain valid entries. If successful, pAnnPoints will contain the converted points.

When nConvert is ANNCONVERT_TO_CLIENT, the pAnnPoints array must contain valid entries. If successful, pPoints will contain the converted points.
