LVectorObject::ExplodeObject

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_INT LVectorObject::ExplodeObject(dwFlags)

flag that indicates how to explode the object

Explodes a vector object or objects to smaller parts. This function is available in the LEADTOOLS Vector Imaging Pro Toolkit.

Parameter	Description
dwFlags	Flag that indicates which objects to explode. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	0	Explode all objects.
	VECTOR_FLAGS_EXPLODE_TO_LINES	Explode objects into lines.

Returns

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

Comments

If the VECTOR_FLAGS_EXPLODE_TO_LINES flag is not specified, then not all objects can be exploded, for example an attempt to explode a VECTOR_LINE has no effect and returns SUCCESS.

Below is a list of object types and the objects into which they explode:

Object type	After LVectorObject::ExplodeObject
VECTOR_ARC	Same.
VECTOR_CHORD	Same.
VECTOR_CIRCLE	Same.
VECTOR_ELLIPSE	Same.
VECTOR_ELLIPTICALARC	Same.
VECTOR_LINE	Same.
VECTOR_PIE	Same.
VECTOR_POLYBEZIER	Same.
VECTOR_POLYDRAW	Same.
VECTOR_POLYGON	Same.
VECTOR_POLYLINE	nPointCount of VECTOR_LINE's.
VECTOR_RASTER	Same.
VECTOR_RECTANGLE	4 VECTOR_LINE's.
VECTOR_TEXT	Same.
VECTOR_VERTEX	Same.

Note that exploding an object can convert the object into a different type. For example, exploding a VECTOR_RECTANGLE will result in four VECTOR_LINE objects. The original vector object no longer exists. Therefore, exploding a valid LVectorRectangle object invalidates the LVectorRectangle object.

To deteremine the validity of an object, call LVectorObject::IsValid.

Example

This example will 1. Create new image of one polyline 2. Explode the polyline 3. Enumerate the new objects
