L_PrintBitmapGDIPlus

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTDIS_API L_INT L_PrintBitmapGDIPlus(hDC, pBitmap, nX, nY, nWidth, nHeight, uFlags)

Prints the bitmap to the specified device context using GDI+.

Parameters

L_HDC hDC

Handle to the device context (DC) where the bitmap is to print. The mapping mode of the device context must be MM_TEXT.

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to print.

L_INT nX

Value that represents the X position to start the print.

L_INT nY

Value that represents the Y position to start the print.

L_INT nWidth

Value that represents the printed width, in pixels. The actual width depends on the dots per inch (DPI) of the printer.

L_INT nHeight

Value that represents the printed height, in pixels. The actual height depends on the dots per inch (DPI) of the printer.

L_UINT32 uFlags

Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

Returns

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

Comments

If GDI+ library is not installed to the system, an error code is returned.

Example

This example determines the output size to fit the image on half of a page, and prints the bitmap twice on the same page.
