SelfIntersections Property
SelfIntersections Property |
Returns the self-intersections of the stroke.
Declaration
[C++]
[propget] HRESULT get_SelfIntersections (
[out, retval] VARIANT* SelfIntersections
);
[Microsoft® Visual Basic® 6.0]
Public Property Get SelfIntersections() As Variant
Property Value
VARIANT An array of floating point index values that represents the self-intersections of a IInkStrokeDisp object.
This property is read only.
For more information about the VARIANT structure, see Using the Automation Library.
Return Value
HRESULT value | Description |
---|---|
S_OK | Success. |
E_POINTER | The parameter pointer was NULL or invalid. |
E_OUTOFMEMORY | Cannot allocate memory for the points. |
E_INK_EXCEPTION | An exception occurred inside the method. |
Remarks
A self-intersection is the point of a stroke where the stroke crosses over itself.
A floating point index is a float value that represents a location somewhere between two points in the stroke. As examples, if 0.0 is the first point in the stroke and 1.0 is the second point in the stroke, 0.5 is halfway between the first and second points. Similarly, a floating point index value of 37.25 represents a location that is 25 percent along the line between points 37 and 38 of the stroke.
Note: A floating point index is returned for each intersection and line segment combination. If a stroke has one intersection, this property returns two self intersections, one for each line segment that is part of the intersection.
Example
[Visual Basic 6.0]
This Visual Basic 6.0 example demonstrates displaying several kinds of information that is recorded with each IInkStrokeDisp object. The calling program uses menu items to toggle the display of each strokes points, Bezier points, Bezier cusps, and self-intersections. The InkRenderer object's InkSpaceToPixelFromPoints method is used to convert the points for display. The LocatePoint helper function is used to interpolate the locations of the self-intersections.
