Chord
The Chord function draws a chord (a region bounded by the intersection of an ellipse
and a line segment, called a "secant"). The chord is outlined by using the
current pen and filled by using the current brush.
BOOL Chord(
HDC hdc,
| // handle to device context
| int nLeftRect,
| // x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle
| int nTopRect,
| // y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle
| int nRightRect,
| // x-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the bounding rectangle
| int nBottomRect,
| // y-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the bounding rectangle
| int nXRadial1,
| // x-coordinate of the first radial's endpoint
| int nYRadial1,
| // y-coordinate of the first radial's endpoint
| int nXRadial2,
| // x-coordinate of the second radial's endpoint
| int nYRadial2
| // y-coordinate of the second radial's endpoint
| );
|
|
Parameters
hdc
Identifies the device context in which the chord appears.
nLeftRect
Specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle.
nTopRect
Specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle.
nRightRect
Specifies the x-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the bounding
rectangle.
nBottomRect
Specifies the y-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the bounding
rectangle.
nXRadial1
Specifies the x-coordinate of the endpoint of the radial defining the
beginning of the chord.
nYRadial1
Specifies the y-coordinate of the endpoint of the radial defining the
beginning of the chord.
nXRadial2
Specifies the x-coordinate of the endpoint of the radial defining the end of
the chord.
nYRadial2
Specifies the y-coordinate of the endpoint of the radial defining the end of
the chord.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The curve of the chord is defined by an ellipse that fits the specified
bounding rectangle. The curve begins at the point where the ellipse intersects the
first radial and extends counterclockwise to the point where the ellipse
intersects the second radial. (A radial is a line segment drawn from the center of the ellipse to a specified
endpoint on the ellipse.) The chord is closed by drawing a line from the intersection
of the first radial and the curve to the intersection of the second radial and
the curve.
If the starting point and ending point of the curve are the same, a complete
ellipse is drawn.
The current position is neither used nor updated by Chord.
Windows 95: The sum of the coordinates of the bounding rectangle cannot exceed 32,767.
The sum of nLeftRect and nRightRect or nTopRect and nBottomRect parameters cannot exceed 32,767.

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 » |
