L_VecPaint

#include "lvkrn.h"

L_LVKRN_API L_INT L_VecPaint(hDC, pVector, bEraseBkgnd)

L_HDC hDC;	device context
const pVECTORHANDLE pVector;	pointer to a vector handle
L_BOOL bEraseBkgnd;	flag that indicates whether to erase the background

Draws the specified vector into a given device context.

Parameter	Description
hDC	Device context.
pVector	Pointer to a vector handle that references the vector to draw.
bEraseBkgnd	Flag that indicates whether or not to erase the background rectangle when rendering the vector. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	The background rectangle will be erased when the vector image is rendered to the device context.
	FALSE	The background rectangle will not be erased.

Returns

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

Comments

If hDC is NULL, this function will assume that pVector is already attached to a window, and will draw the vector image to the window DC.

The background color used to erase the rectangle where the vector image is rendered can be set with L_VecSetBackgroundColor.

If L_VecPaint is called in response to a WM_PAINT message, hDC should be the paint DC obtained from BeginPaint.

This function will use current camera and current viewport of the vector handle to do the necessary projection into the surface of the DC.

Example

This example will create a HBITMAP for the given vector file.

HBITMAP VecPaintExample( 
L_TCHAR* pszFile, 
L_UINT uWidth, 
L_UINT uHeight, 
L_INT* nRet) 
{ 
   /* uWidth and uHeight are the desired bitmap size, the final bitmap size will be less or equal to uWidth and uHeight. */

   if(*nRet != SUCCESS)

   /* Setup viewport rectangle */ 
   rect.left   = 0; 
   rect.top    = 0;

   if(*nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return NULL; 
   /* Render the vector into the memory DC with black background */ 
   *nRet = L_VecSetBackgroundColor( &TmpVector, RGB( 0, 0, 0 ) ); 
   if(*nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return NULL; 
   *nRet = L_VecPaint( hDC, &TmpVector, TRUE ); 
   if(*nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return NULL; 
   DeleteDC( hDC ); 
   /* Free the vector cause it's no longer needed */ 
   *nRet = L_VecFree( &TmpVector ); 
   return hBitmap;
