Graphics::IsVisible Method (Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)
Indicates whether the rectangle specified by a pair of coordinates, a width, and a height is contained within the visible clip region of this Graphics.
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
Parameters
- x
- Type: System::Int32
The x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle to test for visibility.
- y
- Type: System::Int32
The y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle to test for visibility.
- width
- Type: System::Int32
Width of the rectangle to test for visibility.
- height
- Type: System::Int32
Height of the rectangle to test for visibility.
Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the rectangle defined by the x, y, width, and height parameters is contained within the visible clip region of this Graphics; otherwise, false.
The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:
Creates a rectangular clipping region and sets it as the clipping region for the graphics object of the form using Replace.
Creates the location and size of two rectangles, one inside the clipping region and one outside.
Tests each of the rectangles for visibility and draws only the visible one.
The result is one small red rectangle, which is within the clip region.
public: void IsVisible4Int( PaintEventArgs^ e ) { // Set clip region. System::Drawing::Region^ clipRegion = gcnew System::Drawing::Region( Rectangle(50,50,100,100) ); e->Graphics->SetClip( clipRegion, CombineMode::Replace ); // Set up coordinates of rectangles. int x1 = 100; int y1 = 100; int width1 = 20; int height1 = 20; int x2 = 200; int y2 = 200; int width2 = 20; int height2 = 20; // If rectangle is visible, fill it. if ( e->Graphics->IsVisible( x1, y1, width1, height1 ) ) { e->Graphics->FillRectangle( gcnew SolidBrush( Color::Red ), x1, y1, width1, height1 ); } if ( e->Graphics->IsVisible( x2, y2, width2, height2 ) ) { e->Graphics->FillRectangle( gcnew SolidBrush( Color::Blue ), x2, y2, width2, height2 ); } }
