LEAD Video Text Overlay Transform Attributes

Show in webframe

When "getting" a BSTR property, the memory containing the string is allocated with SysAllocString. When this string is no longer needed, free this memory by calling SysFreeString if you are working in an environment such as C or C++ that does not automatically delete the memory. VB automatically deletes the memory, so VB programmers do not need to free the memory themselves.

The portion of the file holding the video data. The video data might be compressed to save disk space. The data has to be decompressed using a video decompressor before you can play (see) it.

Also known as a decoder, this is a module or algorithm to decompress data.

LEAD Video Text Overlay Transform Attributes

The following attributes are supported by the LEAD Video Text Overlay Transform through the IMFAttributes interface.

 

Data type

Attribute CLSID

Description

UINT32 (BOOL)

LMF_TOVERLAY_ENABLETEXTOVERLAY

Enables or disables text overlaying. If set to VARIANT_FALSE, the transform will pass the video samples intact.

BSTR

LMF_TOVERLAY_TEXTOVERLAY

Sets or gets the text to be overlaid over the video stream . The string can be wrapped by setting the WordWrap property to VARIANT_TRUE. The transform accepts the new line sequence \n and translates it to a new line.

BSTR

LMF_TOVERLAY_FONTNAME

Sets or gets the font name. Use one of the installed fonts names. You can use EnumFonts API to enumerate the installed fonts.

UINT32 (long)

LMF_TOVERLAY_FONTSIZE

Sets or gets the font size. Possible values range from 1 to 2000. For any value below the lower limit the default value of 10 will be used. For any value beyond the upper limit, the maximum value of 2000 will be used.

UINT32 (long)

LMF_TOVERLAY_FONTCOLOR

Sets or gets the font foreground color.

UINT32 (long)

LMF_TOVERLAY_BKFONTCOLOR

Sets or gets the font background color.

UINT32 (BOOL)

LMF_TOVERLAY_BOLD

Enables or disables the bold font style.

UINT32 (BOOL)

Enables or disables the underline font style.

UINT32 (BOOL)

LMF_TOVERLAY_STRIKEOUT

Enables or disables the strike out font effect.

UINT32 (long)

LMF_TOVERLAY_ROTATIONANGLE

Sets or gets the rotation angle for the overlay text. The values range from 0 to 3600. For a multi-line text, each line is rotated independently.

UINT32 (BOOL)

LMF_TOVERLAY_ENABLEXYPOSITIONS

Enables or disables text positioning. If this is set to VARIANT_TRUE, then the TextAlignment property will have no effect.

UINT32 (long)

LMF_TOVERLAY_XPOS

Sets or gets the text X position.

UINT32 (long)

LMF_TOVERLAY_YPOS

Sets or gets the text Y position.

UINT32 (BOOL)

LMF_TOVERLAY_ENABLETEXTFROMFILE

Enables or disables getting the overlay text from a file. To use the OverlayText property, set this property to VARIANT_FALSE. If this property is set to VARIANT_TRUE, then the TextFileName property must contain a valid file name.

BSTR

LMF_TOVERLAY_TEXTFILENAME

Sets or gets the LEADTOOLS XML file name that contains the overlay text with special tags.

See the Text Overlay XML File Format for more information on valid tags and how to use them.

UINT32 (TextAlignmentConstants)

LMF_TOVERLAY_TEXTALIGNMENT

Sets or gets the text alignment with respect to the output window. Possible values are one or more (ORed together) of the following:

ALIGN_TOP,
ALIGN_LEFT,
ALIGN_RIGHT,
ALIGN_BOTTOM,
ALIGN_VCENTER, or
ALIGN_HCENTER

UINT32 (BOOL)

LMF_TOVERLAY_ENABLEOUTLINE

Enables or disables the text outline option.

UINT32 (long)

LMF_TOVERLAY_OUTLINEWIDTH

Sets or gets the text outline pen width. Valid values range from 1 to 20.

UINT32 (long)

LMF_TOVERLAY_OUTLINECOLOR

Sets or gets the outline pen color. This is a COLORREF value. You can use the RGB macro to form a COLORREF value from an RGB triple.

UINT32 (long)

LMF_TOVERLAY_FILLCOLOR

Sets or gets the text outline brush color. The brush is applied to the text body. This is a COLORREF value. You can use the RGB macro to form a COLORREF value from an RGB triple.

UINT32 (BOOL)

LMF_TOVERLAY_OUTLINETRANSPARENT

Enables or disables the text outline transparency option. If this is set to VARIANT_TRUE, the area inside the text outline becomes transparent.

UINT32 (PenStyleConstants)
