GetObjExtentsInWall

Description

Gets the extents of a Plugin object or symbol that is in a wall. Returns the object's start point and end point along the wall line.

FUNCTION GetObjExtentsInWall(
				symH                  : HANDLE;
				wallH                 : HANDLE;
				VAR startPtX,startPtY : REAL;
				VAR endPtX,endPtY     : REAL): BOOLEAN;
def vs.GetObjExtentsInWall(symH, wallH):
    return (BOOLEAN, startPt, endPt)

Parameters

Name Type Description
symH HANDLE
wallH HANDLE
startPt REAL
endPt REAL

Remarks

This currently fails on Round Walls: the subobject "symH" is found, but no points are returned. (VW 13.01+).

The values returned are relative to the wall start. It works as expected on symbols and linear objects. If the object is a rectangular plug-in, the values returned are a little unexpected: *"startPt" will be the center of the object, *"endPt" corresponds to start point + the width of the plug-in object. Thus endPt corresponds to the center of the plug-in object, if it has an horizontal flip in wall.

Julian [2009/08/30] The values returned are in reference to the drawing origin, so you need to adjust those by subtracting the wall start point which can be obtained using GetSegPt1().
