TImageEnView.LayersCreatePolylineFromSelection

Declaration

function LayersCreatePolylineFromSelection(Index: Integer = -1; ClosePolygon: Boolean = False): Integer;

Description

Converts the selection to a new Polyline layer. E.g. if MouseInteractGeneral is [miSelectCircle], and the user has selected a circular area, then LayersCreatePolylineFromSelection will create a circular polyline (or polygon).
If there are multiple selection areas, then multiple layers will be added.

Index specifies the insertion index for the layer, or -1 to append.
If ClosePolygon is True, then PolylineClosed will be set to True for any created layers.
Returns the index of the new layer.

Example

// Convert the current selection into a polygon
ImageEnView1.LayersCreatePolylineFromSelection( -1, True );

// Apply color to all layers created by LayersCreateFromSelection
oldLayers := ImageEnView1.LayersCount;
ImageEnView1.LayersCreatePolylineFromSelection(-1, True);
for I := oldLayers to ImageEnView1.LayersCount - 1 do
begin
  TIEPolylineLayer( ImageEnView1.Layers[i] ).LineColor := clBlack;
  TIEPolylineLayer( ImageEnView1.Layers[i] ).LineWidth := 2;
  TIEPolylineLayer( ImageEnView1.Layers[i] ).FillColor := clRed;
end;
ImageEnView1.Update();
