CPicture Class Reference

class CPicture : public CBase

Abstract base class for: drawing a picture to a graphics context, storing and restoring the picture.

The class defines the protocol for a number of concrete picture classes. Its main role is to support glass doors used in object embedding.

The class provides a protocol for the provision of scaling and cropping functions by derived classes, together with default implementations.

Its main function is Draw() , which draws the picture onto the graphics context at a particular point. It also has two important pure virtual functions: ExternalizeL() and GetOriginalSizeInTwips() .

A picture has both an original representation and an on-screen representation. The original representation has a size in twips, and can somehow be drawn. The on-screen representation is assumed to be drawn under the control of an application which may wish to re-size or scale the original in some way, to crop it at the edges, and/or to ensure it fits within a particular defined area on the screen.

The class provides several functions that allow an application to set scaling and cropping before invoking the Draw() function to draw the picture on-screen. It is up to the internal workings of the function to determine the order of application cropping and scaling.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CPicture()

IMPORT_C CPicture ( ) [protected]

~CPicture()

IMPORT_C ~CPicture ( ) [virtual]

Frees all resources owned by the object prior to its destruction.

Member Functions Documentation

AddCropInPixels(MGraphicsDeviceMap *, const TMargins &)

IMPORT_C void AddCropInPixels ( MGraphicsDeviceMap * aMap,
const TMargins & aMargins
)

Adds pixel cropping margins to the picture.

Parameters

MGraphicsDeviceMap * aMap The pixels to twips mapping interface of the graphics device
const TMargins & aMargins The additional pixel cropping margins for the picture, in pixels.

Capability()

IMPORT_C TPictureCapability Capability ( ) const [virtual]

Gets the picture's capabilities.

These include whether it is scalable and croppable.

DetachFromStoreL(TDetach)

void DetachFromStoreL ( TDetach  = EDetachFull ) [inline, virtual]

Parameters

TDetach  = EDetachFull

Draw(CGraphicsContext &, const TPoint &, const TRect &, MGraphicsDeviceMap *)

void Draw ( CGraphicsContext & aGc,
const TPoint & aTopLeft,
const TRect & aClipRect,
MGraphicsDeviceMap * aMap
) const [pure virtual]

Draws a picture.

Parameters

CGraphicsContext & aGc The graphics context.
const TPoint & aTopLeft The co-ordinates where the top left corner pixel of the picture should be placed. Note that whether this is actually drawn depends on the clipping area defined.
const TRect & aClipRect A clipping rectangle that defines the area to which the function should draw. An implementation should never draw outside this rectangle. Note that the graphics context may also have a clipping rectangle set on it.
MGraphicsDeviceMap * aMap The device map for the graphics device. The implementation should use this to find the scaling to apply to the picture.

ExternalizeL(RWriteStream &)

void ExternalizeL ( RWriteStream & aStream ) const [pure virtual]

Externalises the picture to a stream.

The presence of this function means that the standard templated stream operator<<() is available to externalise objects of this class.

A derived class must supply an implementation of this function.

Parameters

RWriteStream & aStream The write stream.

GetCropInTwips(TMargins &)

IMPORT_C void GetCropInTwips ( TMargins & aMargins ) const [virtual]

Gets the cropping margins of a picture in twips.

These margins are relative to the original unscaled size of the picture.

Parameters

TMargins & aMargins The cropping margins of the picture, in twips

GetOriginalSizeInTwips(TSize &)

void GetOriginalSizeInTwips ( TSize & aSize ) const [pure virtual]

Gets the pictur's original size, in twips.

Parameters

TSize & aSize The size of the picture, in twips

GetSizeInPixels(MGraphicsDeviceMap *, TSize &)

IMPORT_C void GetSizeInPixels ( MGraphicsDeviceMap * aMap,
TSize & aSize
) const

Gets the picture's size in pixels.

This is calculated from the original size of the picture, taking cropping and scaling into account.

Parameters

MGraphicsDeviceMap * aMap The pixels to twips mapping interface of the graphics device
TSize & aSize The size of the picture, in pixels.

GetSizeInTwips(TSize &)

IMPORT_C void GetSizeInTwips ( TSize & aSize ) const

Gets the picture's size, in twips.

This size is calculated from the original size of the picture, taking cropping and scaling into account.

Parameters

TSize & aSize The size of the picture, in twips.

LineBreakPossible(TUint, TBool, TBool)

IMPORT_C TBool LineBreakPossible ( TUint aClass,
TBool aBeforePicture,
TBool aHaveSpaces
) const [virtual]

States whether a line break is possible, either before or after a picture.

The default implementation returns ETrue, implying that there is a break opportunity both before and after the picture, whether or not a space is present.

This may be overridden for special types of pictures.

Parameters

TUint aClass The line breaking class of the adjacent character. Line breaking classes are defined in the header file, tagma.h
TBool aBeforePicture ETrue, if the adjacent character is before the picture; EFalse, if the adjacent character is afterwards.
TBool aHaveSpaces ETrue, if spaces occur between the adjacent character and the picture; EFalse, otherwise.

NativePixelSize(TSize &)

IMPORT_C TBool NativePixelSize ( TSize & aPixelSize ) [virtual]

Derived classes might be implemented as bitmaps, in that case it might be interesting to now the native pixel size of the bitmap.

Parameters

TSize & aPixelSize

ResetToOriginal()

IMPORT_C void ResetToOriginal ( )

Resets the picture's scaling and cropping attributes to their original values.

ScaleFactorHeight()

IMPORT_C TInt ScaleFactorHeight ( ) const [virtual]

Gets the pictures height scale factor.

ScaleFactorWidth()

IMPORT_C TInt ScaleFactorWidth ( ) const [virtual]

Gets the picture's width scale factor.

SetCropInTwips(const TMargins &)

IMPORT_C void SetCropInTwips ( const TMargins & aMargins ) [virtual]

Sets the cropping margins of a picture in twips.

These are relative to the original unscaled size of the picture.

Parameters

const TMargins & aMargins The cropping margins of the picture, in twips.

SetScaleFactor(TInt, TInt)

IMPORT_C void SetScaleFactor ( TInt aScaleFactorWidth,
TInt aScaleFactorHeight
) [virtual]

Sets the picture's scale factors.

Parameters

TInt aScaleFactorWidth The width scale factor, in percent.
TInt aScaleFactorHeight The height scale factor, in percent.

SetSizeInPixels(MGraphicsDeviceMap *, const TSize &)

IMPORT_C void SetSizeInPixels ( MGraphicsDeviceMap * aMap,
const TSize & aSize
)

Sets the picture's size in pixels.

Parameters

MGraphicsDeviceMap * aMap The pixels to twips mapping interface of the graphics device.

SetSizeInTwips(const TSize &)

IMPORT_C void SetSizeInTwips ( const TSize & aSize )

Parameters

const TSize & aSize The size of the picture, in twips.

StoreL(CStreamStore &)

IMPORT_C TStreamId StoreL ( CStreamStore & aStore ) const [virtual]

Stores the picture to the specified store.

The default implementation assumes that the content of the picture is externalized to a single stream. The implementation may need to be changed for those derived classes that have components.

Parameters

CStreamStore & aStore The store.
