Syntax
Building a polygon point by point Hide the details
dPolygon([<Image>, ] <Number of sides> , <X1> , <Y1> , <X2> , <Y2> [, <X3> , <Y3> [... [, <Xn> , <Yn>]]] [, <Background color> [, <Side color>]])
<Image>: Optional control name or optional Image, WDPic or picLayer variable
<Number of sides>: Integer Number of sides in the polygon (up to 23 sides). This parameter defines the number of <X>, <Y> pairs to specify in the function. <X1>: Integer X-coordinate of first point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels. <Y1>: Integer Y-coordinate of first point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels. <X2>: Integer X-coordinate of second point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels. <Y2>: Integer Y-coordinate of second point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels. <X3>: Integer X-coordinate of 3rd point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels. <Y3>: Integer Y-coordinate of 3rd point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels. <Xn>: Optional integer X-coordinate of nth point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels. <Yn>: Optional integer Y-coordinate of nth point of the polygon. These coordinates are expressed in pixels. <Background color>: Integer or constant (optional) Polygon background color. This color can correspond to:If this parameter is not specified, the background color: - is Transparent if dBackground has not been used beforehand,
- corresponds to the color specified in the last call to dBackground.
<Side color>: Integer or constant (optional) Color of polygon sides. This color can correspond to:If this parameter is not specified, the line color: - is Transparent if dPen has not been previously used.
For a variable of type Image, the line will be black. - corresponds to the color specified in the last call to dPen.
Building a polygon via an array of X and Y-coordinates Hide the details
dPolygon([<Image>, ] <Array of coordinates> [, <Background color> [, <Side color>]])
<Image>: Optional control name or optional Image, WDPic or picLayer variable
<Array of coordinates>: Array of integers or array of points - WLanguage array of integers containing the coordinates of polygon points. The even indexes represent the X-coordinates while the odd indexes represent the Y-coordinates of the points. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
WLanguage array of Point variables containing the coordinates of the polygon points. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.
<Background color>: Integer or constant (optional) Polygon background color. This color can correspond to:If this parameter is not specified, the background color:- is Transparent if dBackground has not been used beforehand,
- corresponds to the color specified in the last call to dBackground.
<Side color>: Integer or constant (optional) Color of polygon sides. This color can correspond to:If this parameter is not specified, the line color:- is Transparent if dPen has not been previously used.
For a variable of type Image, the line will be black. - corresponds to the color specified in the last call to dPen.
Remarks Coordinates Drawing a polygon:
dPolygon(5, 80, 10, 10, 150, 100, 200, 160, 80, 140, 40)
Coordinates are specified with respect to the upper-left corner of the image (coordinates: (0.0)). Important It is not necessary to close the polygon (the coordinates of the last point do not have to be equal to the coordinates of the first point). The polygon is automatically "closed". Limits A polygon can have a maximum of 100,000 points in WINDEV, WEBDEV and Java, and 1,000 points in Windows CE. Using the drawing functions The drawing functions can be used according to 2 methods: - Method 1: Using the dDrawingStartfunction
- dStartDrawing must be called before any other drawing function. dStartDrawing is used to define the element (Image control or variable) to which the drawing functions will be applied.
- When drawing on an Image control:
- The drawing functions operate on a copy ("bitmap") of the image. You can use the drawing functions of Windows (via API or CallDLL32) but these functions must use the DC (Device Context) returned by dStartDrawing.
- dEndDrawing and dStartDrawing must not be called in the same process.
If function dEndDrawing is called in the same process as function dStartDrawing, the drawing will not appear: it will be automatically deleted.
 Method 2: specify design destination directly in syntax (via parameter) The <Image> parameter is used to specify directly the target of the drawing. dStartDrawing becomes useless. This function must be deleted.
