poIImagePlane SetPosition

Syntax

Imageplane_handle SetPosition position

Application

HyperView Tcl Modify

Description

This command positions an image plane within the client window. This call is only valid when the image plane is in foreground or background mode. If the StretchToFit flag is set, positioning has no affect.

Inputs

position

Indicates the new image position:

Center: Center of the window.
NW or NORTHWEST: Upper left corner
NE or NORTHEAST: Upper right corner
SW or SOUTHWEST: Lower left corner
SE or SOUTHEAST: Lower right corner

Example

To create an image plane, remove all "white" from the image using the color alpha filter (making those areas transparent), and then scale the image plane to half the size and move it to the upper left corner:

}

Errors

Returns HW_InvalidHandle if the image plane handle is invalid, or HW_InvalidArgs if the position is incorrectly specified.
