Graphics::DrawImage(Image*,constPoint*,INT,INT,INT,INT,INT,Unit,constImageAttributes*,DrawImageAbort,VOID*) method (gdiplusgraphics.h)

The Graphics::DrawImage method draws an image.

Syntax

Status DrawImage(
  [in] Image                 *image,
  [in] const Point           *destPoints,
  [in] INT                   count,
  [in] INT                   srcx,
  [in] INT                   srcy,
  [in] INT                   srcwidth,
  [in] INT                   srcheight,
  [in] Unit                  srcUnit,
  [in] const ImageAttributes *imageAttributes,
  [in] DrawImageAbort        callback,
  [in] VOID                  *callbackData
);

Parameters

[in] image

Type: Image*

Pointer to an Image object that specifies the source image.

[in] destPoints

Type: const Point*

Pointer to an array of Point objects that specify the area, in a parallelogram, in which to draw the image.

[in] count

Type: INT

Integer that specifies the number of elements in the destPoints array.

[in] srcx

Type: INT

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

[in] srcy

Type: INT

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

[in] srcwidth

Type: INT

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

[in] srcheight

Type: INT

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

[in] srcUnit

Type: Unit

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

[in] imageAttributes

Type: ImageAttributes*

Pointer to an ImageAttributes object that specifies the color and size attributes of the image to be drawn. The default value is NULL.

[in] callback

Type: DrawImageAbort

Callback method used to cancel the drawing in progress. The default value is NULL.

[in] callbackData

Type: VOID*

Pointer to additional data used by the method specified by the callback parameter. The default value is NULL.

Return value

Type: Status

If the method succeeds, it returns Ok, which is an element of the Status enumeration.

If the method fails, it returns one of the other elements of the Status enumeration.

Remarks

The value of the count parameter must equal 3 to specify the three corners of the parallelogram. The fourth corner of the parallelogram is calculated using the vectors of the first and second coordinates and the first and third coordinates. The portion of the source image to be drawn is scaled to fit the parallelogram.

Examples

The following example draws the original source image and then draws a portion of the image in a specified parallelogram.

VOID Example_DrawImage2(HDC hdc)

{
   Graphics graphics(hdc);

   // Create an Image object.
   Image image(L"pattern.png");

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

   // Define the portion of the image to draw.
   int srcX = 70;
   int srcY = 20;
   int srcWidth = 100;
   int srcHeight = 100;

   // Create an array of Point objects that specify the destination of the cropped image.
   Point destPoints[3] = {
   Point(230, 30),
   Point(350, 50),
   Point(275, 120)};

   Point* pdestPoints = destPoints;

   // Create an ImageAttributes object that specifies a recoloring from red to blue.
   ImageAttributes remapAttributes;
   ColorMap redToBlue;
   redToBlue.oldColor = Color(255, 255, 0, 0);
   redToBlue.newColor = Color(255, 0, 0, 255);
   remapAttributes.SetRemapTable(1, &redToBlue);

   // Draw the cropped image.
   graphics.DrawImage(
   &image,
   pdestPoints,
   3,
   srcX,
   srcY,
   srcWidth,
   srcHeight,
   UnitPixel,
   &remapAttributes,
   NULL,
   NULL);
}

The following illustration shows the output of the preceding code.
