#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LVectorBase::AddLayer(pVectorLayer, dwFlags=VECTOR_FLAGS_RENAME_DUPLICATE_LAYERS);

Adds a new empty layer to a vector handle.

This function is available in the LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Pro Toolkit.

Parameters

LVectorLayer * pVectorLayer

Pointer to an LVectorLayer object that specifies the layer settings.

L_UINT32 dwFlags

Flag that indicates whether or not to rename duplicate layer names. Possible values are:

Returns

Comments

To add a new vector layer, do the following:

1. Declare an LVectorLayer object.

2. Call LVectorLayer::GetLayerDesc to retrieve the current layer settings.

3. Change the layer settings.

4. Call LVectorLayer::SetLayerDesc to set the changed layer settings.

5. Pass the address of the LVectorLayer object to LVectorBase::AddLayer.
