Pie (ImageKit Control/PrintDraw Method)

This method draws a pie shaped figure in the designated object (the screen, printer, or image data).

[Visual Basic] [ Boolean = ]imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.Pie(DeviceValue As LONG_PTR, left As Long, top As Long, right As Long, bottom As Long, x1 As Long, y1 As Long, x2 As Long, y2 As Long, DeviceMode As OutPutDeviceModeConstants)

[Visual C++] [ BOOL = ]imagekitcontrolname.GetPrintDraw().Pie(LONG_PTR DeviceValue, long left, long top, long right, long bottom, long x1, long y1, long x2, long y2, long DeviceMode)

[VB.NET] [ Boolean = ]imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.Pie(DeviceValue As Integer(x86) or Long(x64), left As Integer, top As Integer, right As Integer, bottom As Integer, x1 As Integer, y1 As Integer, x2 As Integer, y2 As Integer, DeviceMode As ImageKit10(A)Lib.OutPutDeviceModeConstants)

[C#.NET] [ bool = ]imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.Pie(int(x86) or long(x64) DeviceValue, int left, int top, int right, int bottom, int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, ImageKit10(A)Lib.OutPutDeviceModeConstants DeviceMode)

* ImageKit10ALib refers to the ANSI version, ImageKit10Lib refers to the Unicode version, (x86) refers to the 32 bit version, and (x64) refers to the 64 bit version.

Parameters

Name	Explanation
DeviceValue	The device context or the raster image data (i.e. Hdc or ImageHandle) depending on the DeviceMode
left,top	The x, y coordinates of the top left corner of the area bounding the pie shape
right,bottom	The x, y coordinates of the bottom right corner of the area bounding the pie shape
x1,y1	x and y coordinates of the starting point of the pie shape
x2,y2	x and y coordinates of the ending point of the pie shape
DeviceMode	If 0 (ikScreen), then the pie will be drawn in pixel units. If 1 (ikPrinter), the pie will be drawn in 0.1mm units. If 2 (ikMemoryHandle), the pie will be drawn (in pixel units) to the image data according to the DeviceValue parameter

The following constants can be used: (ikScreen = 0, ikPrinter = 1, ikMemoryHandle = 2).

Return Value

Returns True (nonzero) if successful. Returns False (0) if unsuccessful.

Explanation

The Pie method draws a pie shaped figure in the designated object. This method draws part of an ellipse and two edges that extend from the ends of the arc to the center point of the bounding rectangle to complete the pie shape. (See the Arc method)

The outline of the pie shape is drawn from the value set in the PenStyle property and the pie shape is filled by the value set in the BrushStyle property. When drawing a pie shape, it is recommended that the PenWidth, PenMode, PenColor, BrushColor, Transparent, and BackColor properties also be set. The BackColor property is enabled when the Transparent property is False and the pen is set to draw lines other than solid lines or the brush is set to hatch pattern.

If the DeviceMode parameter is 0 or 2 then the left, top, right, bottom, x1, y1, x2, y2 parameters will be in pixel units.

If the DeviceMode parameter is 1 then the left, top, right, bottom, x1, y1, x2, y2 parameters will be in 0.1mm units.
