Strokes.GetBoundingBox Method

Strokes.GetBoundingBox Method

Returns the bounding Rectangle Leave Site that contains the Strokes collection.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Function GetBoundingBox() As Rectangle
C# public Rectangle GetBoundingBox();
Managed C++ public: Rectangle* GetBoundingBox();

Return Value

System.Drawing.Rectangle. Returns the bounding Rectangle Leave Site that defines the bounding box for the Strokes collection.

Remarks

The bounding Rectangle Leave Site is in ink space coordinates.

The bounding Rectangle Leave Site corresponds to the portion of the display to invalidate or redraw when displaying a Strokes collection.

When the bounding box is affected by the pen width, then this width is scaled appropriately for the Renderer object's view transform. To do this, the pen width is multiplied by the square root of the determinant of the view transform.

Note: If you have not set the pen width explicitly, it is 53 by default. You must multiply the pen width by the square root of the determinant to yield the correct bounding box. The height and width of the bounding box are expanded by half this amount in each direction. For example, consider that the pen width is 53, the square root of the determinant is 50, and the bounding box is (0, 0, 1000, 1000). The pen width adjustment to the bounding box in each direction is calculated as (53 * 50) / 2, and the right and bottom sides are incremented by one. This results in a rendered bounding box of (-1325, -1325, 2326, 2326).

Note: The bounding Rectangle Leave Site that this method returns is a copy of the bounding box of the Strokes collection. Altering the Rectangle Leave Site that this method returns has no affect on the bounding box of the original Strokes collection.

Examples

[C#]

This C# example gets the bounding box from a Strokes collection, theStrokes.

Rectangle theBoundingBox =
    theStrokes.GetBoundingBox();
                

[VB.NET]

This Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET example gets the bounding box from a Strokes collection, theStrokes.

Dim theBoundingBox As Rectangle = _
    theStrokes.GetBoundingBox()
