L_SetBitmapRgnHandle

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTDIS_API L_INT L_SetBitmapRgnHandle(pBitmap, pXForm, hRgn, uCombineMode)

Creates or updates the bitmap region by adding a region that is specified by a Windows region handle.

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap where the region is to be created or updated.

pRGNXFORM pXForm

Pointer to an RGNXFORM structure that LEADTOOLS uses to translate between display coordinates and bitmap coordinates.

You should create this structure when the Windows region is created. Otherwise the device context values may not be available when you are ready to add the Windows region to the bitmap region.

If you specify NULL in this parameter, the scalar fields default to 1, the offsets default to 0, and the view perspective defaults to the bitmap's view perspective.

L_UINT uCombineMode

The action to take regarding the existing bitmap region, if one is defined. For descriptions of the possible values, refer to Creating a Bitmap Region.

Returns

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

Comments

Before calling this function, you must declare an RGNXFORM structure and set its values, which LEADTOOLS uses to translate between device context coordinates and bitmap coordinates. For details about how the structure works refer to the RGNXFORM structure description. For a description of common usage, refer to Translating Coordinates for a Bitmap Region.

The device coordinates are the ones that were in effect at the time the Windows region was created.

If you want to assign a region from one bitmap to another, you must use the L_GetBitmapRgnHandle function to get region from the first bitmap; then use the L_SetBitmapRgnHandle function to assign the region to the second bitmap.

To update an existing region, you specify how the new region is to be combined with the existing one. For descriptions of the possibilities, refer to Creating a Bitmap Region.

Example

For complete sample code, refer to the DRAW example. This example creates and saves one elliptical region. It then creates a second elliptical region and adds the saved region to it. Finally, it lightens the part of the bitmap that is in the resulting region.
