L_AnnDefine2

Summary

Specifies the shape when creating or transforming an annotation object. This function specifies one point in the current window each time it is called.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTANN_API L_INT L_AnnDefine2(hObject, apt, uState)

Parameters

HANNOBJECT hObject

Handle to the annotation object.

pANNPOINT apt

Pointer to an ANNPOINT structure. The specified point is in container coordinates.

L_UINT uState

State of the process of modifying the annotation object. Possible values are:

Value	Meaning
ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT	[13] This is an anchor point. Use this value when rotating an annotation object around a point other than its center. When doing this, call L_AnnDefine2 with this flag set prior to calling L_AnnDefine2 with the ANNDEFINE_BEGINROTATE flag set.
ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT	[11] This is a starting point, used when moving one point on an annotation object. This can be used to move a single point on any of the following annotation objects:
	ANNOBJECT_LINE
	ANNOBJECT_POLYLINE
	ANNOBJECT_POLYGON
	ANNOBJECT_POINTER
	ANNOBJECT_FREEHAND
	ANNOBJECT_FREEHANDHOTSPOT
	ANNOBJECT_RULER
	ANNOBJECT_CROSSPRODUCT
	ANNOBJECT_PROTRACTOR
	ANNOBJECT_CURVE
	ANNOBJECT_CURVECLOSED
	You can use ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT to perform a simultaneous rotate and resize for the following objects:
	(Note that you must set an anchor point prior to using ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT)
	ANNOBJECT_RECT
	ANNOBJECT_ELLIPSE
	ANNOBJECT_HILITE
	ANNOBJECT_REDACT
	ANNOBJECT_TEXT
	ANNOBJECT_NOTE
	ANNOBJECT_STAMP
	ANNOBJECT_HOTSPOT
	When doing this, call L_AnnDefine2 with the ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT flag set prior to calling L_AnnDefine2 with the ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT flag set.

Returns

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

Comments

This function is used only with the following states:

ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT
ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT

If you try to use a uState value other than ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT or ANNDEFINE_BEGINMOVEPOINT, the function returns ERROR_INV_PARAMETER.

This function is similar to L_AnnDefine, except that L_AnnDefine2 takes a point in container coordinates, whereas L_AnnDefine takes a point in client coordinates.

Use this function when additional accuracy is required when setting an anchor point, or doing a simultaneous rotate and resize. This function should be used in conjunction with L_AnnDefine.

As an example, suppose you want to rotate and resize the rectangle around the anchor point aptAnchor by moving the point aptMove, as shown in the following figure:

This can be done by using only L_AnnDefine, but because L_AnnDefine takes integral arguments and aptAnchor and aptMove are not integral, the rotate and resize will not be exact.

To solve this and accurately perform simultaneous rotation and resizing, use L_AnnDefine2 and L_AnnDefine as follows:

ANNPOINT aptAnchor; 
ANNPOINT aptMove; 
aptMove.x = 10.2; 
aptMove.y = 10.5 
aptAnchor.x = 10.2; 
aptAnchor.y = 50.5 
ptLocation.x = 10; 
ptLocation.y = 20; 
L_AnnDefine2(hObject, &aptAnchor, ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT); 
L_AnnDefine2(hObject, &aptMove, ANNDEFINE_BEGINROTATE); 
// One or more ANNDEFINE_APPEND 
L_AnnDefine(pData->hObjectChange, &pMousePos->pt, ANNDEFINE_APPEND); 
L_AnnDefine(pData->hObjectChange, &pMousePos->pt, ANNDEFINE_END);

Example

This example uses static variables to simulate user input to rotate/resize a rectangle around a point on the bottom center line of the rectangle.
Initially the rectangle must not be rotated.

L_INT AnnDefine2Example(HANNOBJECT hRect) 
{ 
   L_INT          nRet; 
   // Counter for simulating user input 
   static L_INT   nCallCount = 0; 
   L_UINT         uType; 
   ANNRECT        arcRect; 
   ANNPOINT       aptAnchor;  // Anchor point in container coordinates 
   ANNPOINT       aptMove;    // Move point in container coordinates 
   L_POINT        ptMove;     // Move point in client coordinates 
   L_DOUBLE       dAngle; 
   HANNOBJECT     hContainer; 
 
   nRet = L_AnnGetType(hRect, &uType); 
   if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   if (uType != ANNOBJECT_RECT) 
   { 
      _tprintf(_T("%s"), TEXT("Error: Object must be a rectangle.")); 
      return FAILURE; 
   } 
 
   nRet = L_AnnGetRotateAngle(hRect, &dAngle); 
   if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
      return nRet;

         return nRet; 
 
      aptAnchor.x = (arcRect.left + arcRect.right) / 2; 
      aptAnchor.y = arcRect.bottom; 
 
      aptMove.x = (arcRect.left + arcRect.right) / 2; 
      aptMove.y = arcRect.top; 
 
      nRet = L_AnnDefine2(hRect, &aptAnchor, ANNDEFINE_SETANCHORPOINT); 
      if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
         return nRet;

         return nRet; 
 
      _tprintf(_T("%s"), TEXT("Call ExampleAnnDefine2 to complete the rotate/resize.")); 
      break; 
 
   case 2: 
      nRet = L_AnnGetRect(hRect, &arcRect, NULL); 
      if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
         return nRet; 
 
      aptMove.x = arcRect.right; 
      aptMove.y = arcRect.top; 
 
      nRet = L_AnnGetTopContainer(hRect, &hContainer); 
      if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
         return nRet; 
 
      nRet = L_AnnConvert(hContainer, &ptMove, &aptMove, 1, ANNCONVERT_TO_CLIENT); 
      if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
         return nRet; 
 
      nRet = L_AnnDefine(hRect, &ptMove, ANNDEFINE_END); 
      if (nRet != SUCCESS) 
         return nRet; 
 
      nCallCount = 0;

   return SUCCESS;
