Scaling Pen Data
The Pen API provides three functions to transform or scale pen data in an HPENDATA object. The related functions TPtoDP and DPtoTP do not operate explicitly on an HPENDATA object, but instead convert the resolution of an array of points.
Function
| Description
| MetricScalePenData
| Converts pen coordinates between metric and English standard measurements.
Metric units are 0.1 and 0.01 millimeter; English standard units are 0.001 inch.
These scaling metrics comply with the mapping modes set in the Windows function SetMapMode, described in the Windows Software Development Kit.
MetricScalePenData can also convert pen data to display resolution. See "Converting Data to
Display Resolution" later in this chapter.
| OffsetPenData
| Offsets the coordinates in an HPENDATA object to make them relative to another origin. The function adds or
subtracts offset values to or from the coordinate points. The offset values must use
the same units as the pen data. Offsetting coordinates does not lose data. The
process is completely reversible and does not reduce recognition accuracy.
| ResizePenData
| Scales ink into arbitrarily sized rectangles. This function exhibits the same
weakness as the other scaling functions. It preserves rectangle proportions,
but rounding errors prevent the scaling process from being precisely reversible.
However, enlarging the ink data generally does not adversely affect recognition
accuracy for data later given to a recognizer.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
