D2D1_COMBINE_MODE enumeration (d2d1.h)

Specifies the different methods by which two geometries can be combined.

Syntax

typedef enum D2D1_COMBINE_MODE {
  D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_UNION = 0,
  D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_INTERSECT = 1,
  D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_XOR = 2,
  D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_EXCLUDE = 3,
  D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_FORCE_DWORD = 0xffffffff
} ;

Constants

 
D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_UNION
Value: 0
The two regions are combined by taking the union of both. Given two geometries, A and B, the resulting geometry is geometry A + geometry B.
D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_INTERSECT
Value: 1
The two regions are combined by taking their intersection. The new area consists of the overlapping region between the two geometries.
D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_XOR
Value: 2
The two regions are combined by taking the area that exists in the first region but not the second and the area that exists in the second region but not the first. Given two geometries, A and B, the new region consists of (A-B) + (B-A).
D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_EXCLUDE
Value: 3
The second region is excluded from the first. Given two geometries, A and B, the area of geometry B is removed from the area of geometry A, producing a region that is A-B.
D2D1_COMBINE_MODE_FORCE_DWORD
Value: 0xffffffff

Remarks

The following illustration shows the different geometry combine modes.

Examples

The following code uses each of the different combine modes to combine two ID2D1EllipseGeometry objects.
