L_VecGetObjectParallelogram

Summary

Gets the parallelogram that contains the specified object(s).

Syntax

L_LVKRN_API L_INT L_VecGetObjectParallelogram(pVector, pObject, pMin, pMax, dwFlags)

Parameters

const pVECTORHANDLE pVector

Pointer to a vector handle.

const pVECTOROBJECT pObject

Pointer to a VECTOROBJECT structure that references an object. If this parameter is not NULL, the top left point of this objects bounding parallelogram will be copied into pLeftTop and the bottom right point of the parallelogram will be copied into pRightBottom.

If this parameter is NULL, dwFlags will control which objects parallelogram to copy into pLeftTop and pRightBottom.

pVECTORPOINT pMin

Pointer to a VECTORPOINT structure to be updated with the minimum point of the bounding parallelogram of the specified object.

pVECTORPOINT pMax

Pointer to a VECTORPOINT structure to be updated with the maximum point of the bounding parallelogram of the specified object.

L_UINT32 dwFlags

Flag that indicates which parallelogram to use when updating the pLeftTop and pRightBottom parameters. This flag is valid only if pObject is NULL. If pObject is not NULL, this parameter is ignored. Possible values are:

Returns

Comments

Obtains the bounding parallelogram of a single object, several selected objects, or all objects within the specified vector handle.
