text path points

[amitpatel22]

Hi..

How to find no. of point in Path of text.
As per as VC++ I used following code for getting no. of point.

// use a path to record how the text was drawn

pDC->BeginPath();
   pDC->TextOut(10, 10, _T("Hockey is Best!"));
   pDC->EndPath();

pDC->BeginPath();
   pDC->TextOut(10, 10, _T("Hockey is Best!"));
   pDC->EndPath();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

// for long strings or complex fonts, this number might be

int nNumPts = pDC->GetPath(NULL, NULL, 0);

int nNumPts = pDC->GetPath(NULL, NULL, 0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

// Allocate memory to hold points and stroke types from the path.

LPPOINT lpPoints = new POINT[nNumPts];   
   LPBYTE lpTypes = new BYTE[nNumPts];

LPPOINT lpPoints = new POINT[nNumPts];   
   LPBYTE lpTypes = new BYTE[nNumPts];

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

// Now that we have the memory, really get the path data.

nNumPts = pDC->GetPath(lpPoints, lpTypes, nNumPts);
   PolyDraw(pDC, lpPoints, lpTypes, nNumPts);

nNumPts = pDC->GetPath(lpPoints, lpTypes, nNumPts);
   PolyDraw(pDC, lpPoints, lpTypes, nNumPts);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Waiting for quick reply..

Thanks..
