InvalidRectangle Property (AnnObject)

Summary

Gets the physical bounding rectangle of this AnnObject.

Syntax

C++

public virtual Rectangle InvalidRectangle {get;}

  
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property InvalidRectangle As Rectangle

public: 
virtual property Rectangle InvalidRectangle { 
   Rectangle get(); 
}

Property Value

The physical bounding rectangle of this AnnObject.

Remarks

This method returns the physical bounding rectangle of this AnnObject. This bounding rectangle consists of the union of the following rectangles:

The bounding rectangle of the graphics path returned from the GetGraphicsPath method with a AnnGetGraphicsPathMode value of Bound. This rectangle is then transformed using the PhysicalTransform matrix to convert the rectangle to physical coordinates. Finally this rectangle is adjusted by the physical width of the pen used to draw this object.
The physical bounding rectangle of the locked picture if this object is locked. Refer to Lock, LockPicture.
The physical bounding rectangle of the name text if the name of this AnnObject is visible. Refer to Name, NameFont, NameOffset and NameVisible.

This rectangle can be used to calculate the invalid region needed to re-paint this object inside its container. The annotation automation toolkit uses this value to speed up re-painting the owner control when an object changes position or appearance.

Example

This example will change an object's name and then re-paint it inside its container.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Annotations; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.WinForms; 
using Leadtools.Drawing; 
 
private void AnnObject_InvalidRectangle(AnnObject obj, string name, RasterImageViewer viewer) 
{ 
   // first save the old invalid rectangle 
   Rectangle rcOld = obj.InvalidRectangle; 
 
   // set the name 
   obj.Name = name; 
   obj.NameVisible = true; 
   obj.NameFont = new AnnFont("Arial", new AnnLength(10, AnnUnit.Point), FontStyle.Bold | FontStyle.Italic); 
 
   // get the new invalid rectangle 
   Rectangle rcNew = obj.InvalidRectangle; 
 
   // re-paint this object by invalidating the union of both rectangles 
   viewer.Invalidate(Rectangle.Union(rcOld, rcNew)); 
}
