L_PntDrawShapePolyBezier

Summary

Draws a polybezier using the specified points

Syntax

#include "LtPnt.h"

L_LTPNT_API L_INT L_PntDrawShapePolyBezier(pPaint, UserDC, pptPoints, nCount)

Parameters

pPAINTHANDLE pPaint

Pointer to a paint handle.

L_HDC UserDC

Handle to a device context, such as a screen, to use as a display surface. This parameter can also be NULL. The mapping mode of the device context must be MM_TEXT.

const LPPOINT pptPoints

Pointer to an array of POINT structures that contain the endpoints and control points of the curve(s).

L_INT nCount

Specifies the number of points in the pptPoints array. This value must be one more than three times the number of curves to be drawn, because each Bezier curve requires two control points and an endpoint, and the initial curve requires an additional starting point.

Returns

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

Comments

The Bezier curve(s) will be drawn using the current shape properties. To determine the current shape properties, call L_PntGetProperty. To set or change the current shape properties, call L_PntSetProperty. For more information on the shape properties, refer to the PAINTSHAPE structure.

If UserDC is not NULL, the toolkit will paint the Bezier curve(s) on the specified device context. If UserDC is NULL, the Bezier curve(s) will not be painted on a device context.

If a bitmap has been set using the L_PntSetMetrics function, the Bezier curve(s) will be drawn on the specified bitmap. If UserDC is not NULL and a bitmap has been set using the L_PntSetMetrics function, then the Bezier curve(s) will be drawn to both the device context and the bitmap.
