Strokes.Transform Method (Matrix)
Applies a linear transformation to a Strokes collection, not affecting the pen width.
Namespace: Microsoft.Ink
Assembly: Microsoft.Ink (in Microsoft.Ink.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub Transform ( _
inkTransform As Matrix _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As Strokes
Dim inkTransform As Matrix
instance.Transform(inkTransform)
public void Transform(
Matrix inkTransform
)
public:
void Transform(
Matrix^ inkTransform
)
public function Transform(
inkTransform : Matrix
)
Parameters
inkTransform
Type: System.Drawing.Drawing2D.MatrixThe System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix transform to use on the Strokes collection.
Remarks
The transformation applies to the points, but not the pen width. To set a value that includes the pen width in the transformation, use the Transform(Matrix, Boolean) overload of this method.
The linear transform can represent scaling, rotation, translation, and combinations of transformations.
Examples
In this example, the Strokes collection attached to an InkOverlay object is rotated by 180 degrees. The rotation occurs around the center of the bounding box of the Strokes collection.
' Access to the Strokes property returns a copy of the Strokes object.
' This copy must be implicitly (via using statement) or explicitly
' disposed of in order to avoid a memory leak.
Using allStrokes As Strokes = mInkOverlay.Ink.Strokes
Dim inkTransform As Matrix = New Matrix()
Dim bounds As Rectangle = allStrokes.GetBoundingBox()
Dim center As PointF = _
New PointF(0.5F * (bounds.Left + bounds.Right), _
0.5F * (bounds.Top + bounds.Bottom))
' Translate to center of bounding box
inkTransform.Translate(center.X, center.Y)
' Rotate by 180 degrees
inkTransform.Rotate(180.0F)
' Translate back
inkTransform.Translate(-center.X, -center.Y)
' Transform strokes
allStrokes.Transform(inkTransform)
End Using

// Rotate by 180 degrees

// Translate back

// Transform strokes
