  [in]  INT y,
  [in]  INT srcx,
  [in]  INT srcy,
  [in]  INT srcwidth,
  [in]  INT srcheight,
  [in]  Unit srcUnit
);

Parameters

  • image [in]
    Type: Image*

    Pointer to an Image object that specifies the source image.

  • x [in]
    Type: INT

    Integer that specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the destination position at which to draw the image.

  • y [in]
    Type: INT

    Integer that specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the destination position at which to draw the image.

  • srcx [in]
    Type: INT

    Integer that specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the portion of the source image to be drawn.

  • srcy [in]
    Type: INT

    Integer that specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the portion of the source image to be drawn.

  • srcwidth [in]
    Type: INT

    Integer that specifies the width of the portion of the source image to be drawn.

  • srcheight [in]

    Integer that specifies the height of the portion of the source image to be drawn.

  • srcUnit [in]
    Type: Unit

    Element of the Unit enumeration that specifies the unit of measure for the image. The default value is UnitPixel.

Examples

The following example draws a portion of an image. The portion of the source image to be drawn is scaled to fit a specified parallelogram.

VOID Example_DrawImage12(HDC hdc)

{
   Graphics graphics(hdc);

   // Create an Image object.
   Image image(L"climber.jpg");

   // Draw the original source image.
   graphics.DrawImage(&image, 10, 10);

   // Set up the location for the image and the portion of the source to draw.
   int x = 200;
   int y = 30;
   int srcx = 70;
   int srcy = 20;
   int srcwidth = 100;
   int srcheight = 200;
   Unit srcunit = UnitPixel;

   // Draw the image.
   graphics.DrawImage(&image, x, y, srcx, srcy, srcwidth, srcheight, srcunit);
}

The following illustration shows the output of the preceding code.
