GreModifyPath

GreModifyPath modifies a path. When the transform is singular, GreModifyPath is invalid and causes an error to be logged.

This function can be hooked by the presentation driver.


 * Simulation support: This function is simulated by a handling routine in the graphics engine.

Syntax
GreModifyPath(hdc, idPath, cmdMode, pInstance, lFunction);

Parameters

 * hdc (HDC) - input
 * Device context handle.


 * idPath (LONG) - input
 * Path ID.


 * cmdMode (LONG) - input
 * Modify mode.


 * The only valid flag is:


 * MPATH_STROKE This replaces the original path (with a path that encloses the shape produced by stroking the original path) using the current geometric wide line attribute. Any open figures within the path are not closed.


 * The envelope includes the effects of "line joins" and "line ends" according to the current values of these attributes. For example, where a line joins an arc, the common point is handled according to the line join attribute in the current line attribute bundle. (See Line Attributes.) When a figure is closed by using GreCloseFigure, the line join attribute in the current line bundle is applied to the start and end points. The envelope takes account of any crossings. For example, a stroked X does not have a hole in the middle if it is subsequently drawn in Exclusive-OR mode.


 * pInstance (PVOID) - input
 * Pointer to instance data.


 * lFunction (ULONG) - input
 * High-order WORD=flags; low-order WORD=NGreModifyPath.

Return Code

 * fSuccess (BOOL) - returns
 * Return codes.


 * This function returns BOOLEAN (fSuccess).


 * TRUE Successful
 * FALSE Error


 * Possible Errors Detected:  When an error is detected, the handling routine must call WinSetErrorInfo to post the condition. Error codes for conditions that the handling routine is expected to check include:


 * PMERR_BASE_ERROR
 * PMERR_BITMAP_NOT_SELECTED
 * PMERR_COORDINATE_OVERFLOW
 * PMERR_DEV_FUNC_NOT_INSTALLED
 * PMERR_HDC_BUSY
 * PMERR_HRGN_BUSY
 * PMERR_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
 * PMERR_INV_COLOR_DATA
 * PMERR_INV_COLOR_INDEX
 * PMERR_INV_COORD_SPACE
 * PMERR_INV_COORDINATE
 * PMERR_INV_FILL_PATH_OPTIONS
 * PMERR_INV_HDC
 * PMERR_INV_HRGN
 * PMERR_INV_IN_AREA
 * PMERR_INV_IN_PATH
 * PMERR_INV_LENGTH_OR_COUNT
 * PMERR_INV_MATRIX_ELEMENT
 * PMERR_INV_MODIFY_PATH_MODE
 * PMERR_INV_PATH_ID
 * PMERR_INV_PATTERN_REF_PT_ATTR
 * PMERR_INV_PICK_APERTURE_POSN
 * PMERR_INV_RECT
 * PMERR_INV_REGION_CONTROL
 * PMERR_INV_TRANSFORM_TYPE
 * PMERR_PATH_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
 * PMERR_PATH_UNKNOWN
 * PMERR_REGION_IS_CLIP_REGION

Sample Code

 * 1) define INCL_GRE_PATHS
 * 2) include 

HDC     hdc;        /*  Device context handle. */ LONG    idPath;     /*  Path ID. */ LONG    cmdMode;    /*  Modify mode. */ PVOID   pInstance;  /*  Pointer to instance data. */ ULONG   lFunction;  /*  High-order WORD=flags; low-order WORD=NGreModifyPath. */ BOOL    fSuccess;   /*  Return codes. */

fSuccess = GreModifyPath(hdc, idPath, cmdMode,            pInstance, lFunction);
