   AT_DIMENSION nWidth,
   AT_DIMENSION nHeight
);

nY AT_PIXPOS Y coordinate of load rectangle.
nWidth AT_DIMENSION Width of load rectangle.

Return Value:

Returns 0 if successful. Otherwise, returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

Sample:

None

Example:

 
Copy Code
/* Set to only load the upper left 1000 x 500 of the image: */
IG_load_rect_set ( 0, 0, 1000, 500 );

Remarks:

This function will cause an image loaded to be cropped. Portions of the image falling outside the coordinates of this rectangle will be discarded, and will not appear in the image bitmap of the DIB created by the load.

To reset ImageGear to its default behavior of loading the whole image, set all parameters to 0. See also IG_load_rect_get function.
