Flip Method

Summary

Flips the objects that are currently being edited (selected) in this AnnAutomation.

Syntax

C++

public virtual void Flip( 
   bool horizontal 
)

  
Public Overridable Sub Flip( _ 
   ByVal horizontal As Boolean _ 
)

public: 
virtual void Flip(  
   bool horizontal 
)

Parameters

horizontal
true to flip the object horizontally (reverse); false to flip the object vertically.

Remarks

AnnAutomation can flip one or more AnnObject if they are currently in edit mode (selected) and these objects are not locked.

If objects are grouped together the group is flipped as a unit.

Call the CanFlip property to determine whether you can call this method.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Annotations; 
using Leadtools.WinForms; 
using Leadtools.Drawing; 
 
public void AnnAutomation_Flip(AnnAutomation automation) 
{ 
   // make sure no objects are selected 
   automation.SelectNone(); 
 
   // see if we can flip? (should say no) 
   if (!automation.CanFlip) 
      MessageBox.Show("Cannot flip objects because no objects are selected"); 
 
   // add a text object and select it 
   AnnTextObject text = new AnnTextObject(); 
   text.Font = new AnnFont("Arial", new AnnLength(20, AnnUnit.Point), FontStyle.Bold); 
   text.TextColor = Color.Red; 
   text.Text = "Flip Me!"; 
   text.Bounds = new AnnRectangle(100, 100, 200, 200, AnnUnit.Pixel); 
   automation.Container.Objects.Add(text); 
   automation.StartEditing(text, false); 
 
   // flip this object vertically 
   MessageBox.Show("Now we are going to flip this text vertically"); 
   if (automation.CanFlip) 
      automation.Flip(false); 
 
   // flip this object horizontally (reverse) 
   MessageBox.Show("Now we are going to flip this text horizontally (reverse it)"); 
   if (automation.CanFlip) 
      automation.Flip(true); 
}
