ImageEn, unit iexLayers

TIEAngleLayer


Declaration

TIEAngleLayer = class(TIELayer);


Description

TImageEnView supports multiple layers, allowing the creation of a single image from multiple source images (which can be resized, rotated, moved, etc).
TIEAngleLayer is a descendent of TIELayer that displays an angle formed from three points, and a label showing the angle value.



You can create angle layers with code using LayersAdd or by user action by setting MouseInteractLayers:
Item Description
mlClickCreateAngleLayers Click three points to create an angle layer
mlEditLayerPoints Click and drag points to move them
mlCreateAngleLayers Drag the area of an angle layer. Include mlRotateLayers to rotate the sweep angle (Hold Ctrl to adjust start angle instead)

Review the Layer Documentation for a full description of layer support.

Examples

// All of the following produce an angle similar to this



xx := 100;
yy := 100;


// SET BY POINTS

ImageEnView1.LayersAdd( ielkAngle );
with TIEAngleLayer( ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer ) do
begin
  LineWidth := 2;
  LineColor := clDkGray;
  LabelFont.Color := clBlue;
  LabelFont.Style := [fsBold];

  // Set by points on bitmap
  SetPoints( 0, xx + 180, yy + 130, iepbBitmap );
  SetPoints( 1, xx + 0  , yy + 130, iepbBitmap );
  SetPoints( 2, xx + 130, yy + 0  , iepbBitmap );

  // Which is the same as:
  // SetPoints( [ Point( xx + 130, yy + 0 ), Point( xx + 0, yy + 130 ), Point( xx + 130, yy + 0 ), iepbBitmap );
end;
ImageEnView1.Update();


// SET BY SIZE

ImageEnView1.LayersAdd( ielkAngle );
with TIEAngleLayer( ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer ) do
begin
  PosX   := xx;
  PosY   := yy;

  // Note: Size is larger than above because we must take text and arc into account
  Width  := 209;
  Height := 159;
  LineWidth := 2;
  LineColor := clDkGray;
  LabelFont.Color := clBlue;
  LabelFont.Style := [fsBold];

  // Set as a percentage (actually range from 0 - 1000) of the width
  SetPoints( 0, 1000, 1000 );
  SetPoints( 1, 0   , 1000 );
  SetPoints( 2, 720 , 0    );

  // Which is the same as:
  // SetPoints( [ Point( 1000, 1000 ), Point( 0, 1000 ), Point( 720 , 0 ) ], iepbBitmap );
end;
ImageEnView1.Update();


// SET BY ANGLE

ImageEnView1.LayersAdd( ielkAngle );
with TIEAngleLayer( ImageEnView1.CurrentLayer ) do
begin
  PosX   := xx;
  PosY   := yy;

  // Note: Size is larger than above because we must take text and arc into account
  // Even then, result will be different because we do not set the line lengths
  Width  := 209;
  Height := 159;
  LineWidth := 2;
  LineColor := clDkGray;
  LabelFont.Color := clBlue;
  LabelFont.Style := [fsBold];

  // Set by angle
  StartAngle := 0;
  SweepAngle := 45;
end;
ImageEnView1.Update();
