Paint (ImageKit Control/PrintDraw Method)

Starting from a specified point in the designated object, this method can fill an existing color with a different color. It can also use an existing color as a boundary and paint all other colors inside (or outside) that boundary with a different color.

[C++Builder] [ bool = ]imagekitcontrolname->PrintDraw->Paint(unsigned DeviceValue, int X, int Y, TColor Color1, TColor Color2, TVIkPaintMode PaintMode, TVIkOutPutDeviceMode DeviceMode)

[C++Builder] [ bool = ]imagekitcontrolname->PrintDraw->Paint(void * DeviceValue, int X, int Y, TColor Color1, TColor Color2, TVIkPaintMode PaintMode, TVIkOutPutDeviceMode DeviceMode)

[Delphi] [ Boolean = ]imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.Paint(DeviceValue: THandle; X: Integer; Y: Integer; Color1: TColor; Color2: TColor; PaintMode: TVIkPaintMode; DeviceMode: TVIkOutPutDeviceMode)

[Delphi] [ Boolean = ]imagekitcontrolname.PrintDraw.Paint(DeviceValue: Pointer; X: Integer; Y: Integer; Color1: TColor; Color2: TColor; PaintMode: TVIkPaintMode; DeviceMode: TVIkOutPutDeviceMode)

[TVIkPaintMode Type]

Unit
IkInit

type
TVIkPaintMode = (vikBorder, vikSurface);

[TVIkOutPutDeviceMode Type]

Unit
IkInit

type
TVIkOutPutDeviceMode = (vikScreen, vikPrinter, vikMemoryHandle);

Parameters

Name	Explanation
DeviceValue	The device context or the raster image data depending on the DeviceMode
x, y	The x and y coordinates of the point
Color1	The color that is replaced or the color that defines the area to be filled by Color2
Color2	The color that replaces Color1
PaintMode	The mode used to paint
DeviceMode	If vikScreen, then the x,y parameters will be in pixel units. If vikPrinter, the x, y parameters will be in 0.1mm units. If vikMemoryHandle, the x,y parameters will be in pixel units and painted to the image data according to the DeviceValue parameter

Return Value

Returns True if successful. Returns False if unsuccessful.

Explanation

Starting from a specified point in the designated object, the Paint method can fill an existing color with a different color. It can also use an existing color as a boundary and paint all other colors inside (or outside) that boundary with a different color.

When the PaintMode is vikBorder:

Starting from the coordinates specified by the x and y parameters, the Paint method uses the Color1 as a boundary and fills the area inside (or outside) that boundary with the Color2.

When the PaintMode is vikSurface:

Starting from the coordinates specified by the x and y parameters, the Paint method fills the Color1 area with the Color2.

The following constants can be used: (vikBorder, vikSurface).

The Color1 and Color2 parameters can be set using color constants (clRed, etc.) or RGB(red, green, blue) values.

If the DeviceMode parameter is vikScreen or vikMemoryHandle then the x and y parameters are in pixel units.

If the DeviceMode parameter is vikPrinter then x and y parameters are in 0.1mm units.

Differences between the ImageKit7/8/9

In VCL the constants contain a "v". In ActiveX, the constants are: vikBorder, vikSurface, ikScreen, ikPrinter, ikMemoryHandle.
