TWAIN image layout is specified using the Left, Top, Right, and Bottom properties of IGDoubleRectangle. The Width and Height properties should not be used, because they assume endpoint-inclusive semantics. Using endpoint-inclusive semantics, a rectangle with left, top, right, and bottom coordinates all equal to 0 is one pixel wide and one pixel tall. So, for example, the Width property is calculated as Right - Left + 1. This is not appropriate for a TWAIN image layout rectangle. Therefore, use only the Left, Top, Right, and Bottom properties. |
