LAnnAutomation::SetBitmapDpiX

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LAnnAutomation::SetBitmapDpiX(dDpiX, uFlags=0)

L_DOUBLE dDpiX;

/* horizontal DPI value to set */

L_UINT uFlags;

/* reserved for future use */

Sets the horizontal Bitmap DPI (dots per inch) value that is used to translate the horizontal distance for Ruler objects.

Parameter

Description

dDpiX

The horizontal DPI value to set. Valid values are greater than or equal to 1.

 

If you pass 0 or a positive value less than 1, the value will default to 150. If you pass a negative value, the function will return an error.

uFlags

Reserved for future versions, use 0.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

You should set this value to the bitmaps XResolution. Call this function every time you load objects or paste them from the clipboard. Otherwise, the distances shown by the ruler objects will not be accurate.
