Functions for tiling region and stretching region.

Sample Image - appspeed.gif

Introduction

When I wrote the software SkinMagic Toolkit for my company, I needed to tile a region or stretch a region within a bound rectangle. I implemented it in two functions CreateTileRegion and CreateStretchRegion.

Using the code

To use the code, just add rgntool.cpp and rgntool.h to your project. Call CreateTileRegion or CreateStretchRegion to create the new region. When you run the demo project, please double click mouse left button in the window's client, to show the effect.

HRGN CreateStretchRgn( HRGN hSrcRgn,  //the source region handle

                       float xScale , //x-axis scale

                       float yScale , //y-axis scale

                       int xOffset ,  //x-axis offset

                       int yOffset )  //y-axis offset

{
    XFORM xForm;
    xForm.eDx = 0;
    xForm.eDy = 0;
    xForm.eM11 = xScale;
    xForm.eM12 = 0;
    xForm.eM21 = 0;
    xForm.eM22 = yScale;
    HRGN hRgn = NULL ;
    
    DWORD dwCount = GetRegionData( hSrcRgn , 0 , NULL );
    BYTE* pRgnData =(BYTE*) malloc( dwCount );
    if( pRgnData )
    {
        dwCount = GetRegionData( hSrcRgn , dwCount , (RGNDATA*)pRgnData );
        hRgn = ExtCreateRegion( &xForm , dwCount , (RGNDATA*)pRgnData );
        free( pRgnData );
      if( hRgn )
      {
        OffsetRgn( hRgn , xOffset, yOffset );
        return hRgn;

      }
  }
  return NULL;
 }

HRGN CreateTitleRgn( HRGN hSrcRgn,    //the source region handle

                     SIZE szSize ,    //the source region rect size

                     RECT rcBound )   //the bound rectangle

{
  HRGN hRgn = CreateRectRgn( 0,0,10,10 );
  HRGN hTempRgn1 = CreateRectRgn( 0,0,10,10 );
  HRGN hTempRgn2 =CreateRectRgn( 0,0,10,10 );

  CombineRgn( hTempRgn2 , hSrcRgn , hTempRgn1 , RGN_COPY );
  CombineRgn( hRgn , hSrcRgn , hTempRgn1 , RGN_COPY );
  OffsetRgn( hRgn , rcBound.left , rcBound.top );
  int xOffset=0 , yOffset=0;
  for (yOffset = rcBound.top ; yOffset < rcBound.bottom ; yOffset += szSize.cy)
  {
    for (xOffset=rcBound.left ; xOffset < rcBound.right ; xOffset += szSize.cx)
    {
      CombineRgn( hTempRgn1 , hTempRgn2 , hSrcRgn , RGN_COPY );
      OffsetRgn( hTempRgn1 , xOffset , yOffset );
      CombineRgn( hRgn , hRgn , hTempRgn1 , RGN_OR );
    }
  }
  DeleteObject( hTempRgn1 );
  DeleteObject( hTempRgn2 );
  hTempRgn1 = CreateRectRgnIndirect( &rcBound );
  CombineRgn( hRgn , hRgn , hTempRgn1 , RGN_AND );
  DeleteObject( hTempRgn1 );
  return hRgn;
}
