This function stores an arbitrary line of pixels in the DIB image bitmap of the image referenced by HIGEAR.

Declaration:

	Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_DIB_line_set ( HIGEAR hIGear, AT_PIXPOS nX1, AT_PIXPOS nY1, AT_PIXPOS nX2, AT_PIXPOS nY2, const LPAT_PIXEL lpPixel, AT_DIMENSION nNumPixels );

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
hIGear	HIGEAR	HIGEAR handle of image to which to transfer pixels.
nX1	AT_PIXPOS	X coordinate of the first endpoint of line to store.
nY1	AT_PIXPOS	Y coordinate of the first endpoint.
nX2	AT_PIXPOS	X coordinate of the second endpoint of line to store.
nY2	AT_PIXPOS	Y coordinate of the second endpoint.
lpPixel	const LPAT_PIXEL	Far pointer to your data area containing the pixels to be stored.
nNumPixels	AT_DIMENSION	Number of pixels (not bytes) to be transferred.

Return Value:

Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call. If there are no errors, the return value is IGE_SUCCESS.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

All pixel formats supported by ImageGear Professional.

 ...
/* Now restore the line: */
nErrcount = IG_DIB_line_set ( hIGear, nXleft, nYtop, nXright, nYbot, &cPixArray[0],
nFetched );

Remarks:

The line does not have to be horizontal or vertical. (nX1,nY1) are the coordinates of one endpoint of the line and (nX2,nY2) are of the other.

ImageGear's pixel access functions consider the coordinates (0,0) to refer to the upper left-hand corner of the bitmap data. They do not follow the DIB's orientation, which considers (0,0) to refer to the lower left-hand corner of the bitmap.

If the image you are modifying is 1-bit, you must convert the image from run-end encoded to a standard DIB before you can set pixel values. Please see the section Accessing Image Pixels for details.

1-bit and 4-bit pixels should be provided one to a byte, right justified (that is, in the least significant bits of the byte). 24 bit pixels should be 3 bytes per pixel, in Blue-Green-Red order.

To calculate the number of pixels that your line will consist of, use the following formula:
max((1+abs(x2-x1)), (1+abs(y2-y1)))
