Inheritance diagram for wxRegion:

Detailed Description

A wxRegion represents a simple or complex region on a device context or window.

This class uses reference counting and copy-on-write internally so that assignments between two instances of this class are very cheap. You can therefore use actual objects instead of pointers without efficiency problems. If an instance of this class is changed it will create its own data internally so that other instances, which previously shared the data using the reference counting, are not affected.

The object becomes invalid, or null, after being cleared.

wxRegionContain wxRegion::Contains	(	wxCoord	x,
		wxCoord	y
	)		const

Returns a value indicating whether the given point is contained within the region.

This method always returns wxOutRegion for an invalid region but may, nevertheless, be safely called in this case.

Returns: The return value is one of wxOutRegion and wxInRegion.

wxRegionContain wxRegion::Contains ( const wxPoint & pt ) const

Returns a value indicating whether the given point is contained within the region.

Convert the region to a black and white bitmap with the white pixels being inside the region.

This method can't be used for invalid region.

Finds the intersection of this region and another, rectangular region, specified using position and size.

This method always fails, i.e. returns false, if this region is invalid but may nevertheless be safely used even in this case.

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise.

Remarks: Creates the intersection of the two regions, that is, the parts which are in both regions. The result is stored in this region.

bool wxRegion::Intersect ( const wxRect & rect )

Finds the intersection of this region and another, rectangular region.

This method always fails, i.e. returns false, if this region is invalid but may nevertheless be safely used even in this case.

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise.

Remarks: Creates the intersection of the two regions, that is, the parts which are in both regions. The result is stored in this region.

Finds the intersection of this region and another region.

This method always fails, i.e. returns false, if this region is invalid but may nevertheless be safely used even in this case.

Returns: true if successful, false otherwise.

Remarks: Creates the intersection of the two regions, that is, the parts which are in both regions. The result is stored in this region.

virtual bool wxRegion::IsEmpty ( ) const

virtual

Returns true if the region is empty, false otherwise.

Always returns true if the region is invalid.

Moves the region by the specified offsets in horizontal and vertical directions.

This method can't be called if the region is invalid as it doesn't make sense to offset it then. Attempts to do it will result in assert failure.
