AddGdiDataToRegion Method

Summary

Creates or updates a LEADTOOLS image region using the specified GDI+ region data.

Syntax

C++

public static void AddGdiDataToRegion( 
   RasterImage image, 
   RasterRegionXForm xform, 
   byte[] data, 
   int dataOffset, 
   RasterRegionCombineMode combineMode 
)

Public Shared Sub AddGdiDataToRegion( _ 
   ByVal image As RasterImage, _ 
   ByVal xform As RasterRegionXForm, _ 
   ByVal data() As Byte, _ 
   ByVal dataOffset As Integer, _ 
   ByVal combineMode As RasterRegionCombineMode _ 
)

public: 
static void AddGdiDataToRegion(  
   RasterImage^ image, 
   RasterRegionXForm^ xform, 
   array<byte>^ data, 
   int dataOffset, 
   RasterRegionCombineMode combineMode 
)

Parameters

image
The source image.

xform
Leadtools.RasterRegionXForm object that LEADTOOLS uses to translate between display coordinates and image coordinates. If you specify null (Nothing in VB) for this parameter, the scalar fields default to 1, the offsets default to 0, and the view perspective defaults to the image view perspective.

data
An array of System.Byte that defines the region to add.

dataOffset
Byte offset into data where the data starts.

combineMode
The action to take regarding the existing image region, if one is defined.

Remarks

To update an existing region, specify how the new region is to be combined with the existing one using the combineMode parameter. For more information, refer to Leadtools.RasterRegionCombineMode.

This method can be used to copy the region data from one RasterImage to another, using the GetGdiRegionData method.

To get the region data as GDI+ System.Drawing.Drawing2D.RegionData object, use GetGdiPlusRegionData and AddGdiPlusDataToRegion.

To get the region data as platform independent byte array, use RasterRegion.GetData and RasterRegion.SetData.

For more information, refer to Creating a Region.

For more information, refer to Saving A Region.

For more information, refer to Working with the Existing Region.

For more information refer to RasterImage and GDI/GDI+.

Example

This example will use AddGdiDataToRegion and GetGdiRegionData to add an elliptical region to a Leadtools.RasterImage, gets the region as a GDI byte array object then re-sets it in another image.
