Expands the area of the AnalysisRegion to the area created by its union with the specified rectangle.

Namespace: System.Windows.Ink
Assembly: IAWinFX (in iawinfx.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Union ( _
    rectangle As Rect _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As AnalysisRegion
Dim rectangle As Rect

instance.Union(rectangle)

public void Union (
    Rect rectangle
)

public:
void Union (
    Rect rectangle
)

public void Union (
    Rect rectangle
)

public function Union (
    rectangle : Rect
)

Not applicable.

Parameters

rectangle
The rectangle with which to combine, in ink space coordinates.

Remarks

The Union method throws an ArgumentOutOfRangeException if rectangle has bounds outside of MinXY and MaxXY.

Example

This example creates two AnalysisRegion objects. It uses the Intersect, Union, and Exclude methods to modify the objects' areas.

' Create an infinite AnalysisRegion.
Dim theFirstAnalysisRegion As New AnalysisRegion()
' Create a finite AnalysisRegion.
Dim theSecondAnalysisRegion As New AnalysisRegion(New Rect(100, 100, 200, 200))
' Extend an AnalysisRegion using the Union method and an AnalysisRegion.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Union(theSecondAnalysisRegion)

' Extend an AnalysisRegion using the Union method and a rectangle.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Union(New Rect(100, 100, 200, 200))

' Restrict an AnalysisRegion using the Intersect method and an AnalysisRegion.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Intersect(theSecondAnalysisRegion)

' Restrict an AnalysisRegion using the Intersect method and a rectangle.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Intersect(New Rect(100, 100, 200, 200))

' Modify an AnalysisRegion using the Exclude method and an AnalysisRegion.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Exclude(theSecondAnalysisRegion)

' Modify an AnalysisRegion using the Exclude method and a rectangle.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Exclude(New Rect(100, 100, 200, 200))

// Create an infinite AnalysisRegion.
AnalysisRegion theFirstAnalysisRegion =
    new AnalysisRegion();

// Create a finite AnalysisRegion.
AnalysisRegion theSecondAnalysisRegion =
    new AnalysisRegion(
        new Rect(100, 100, 200, 200));

// Extend an AnalysisRegion using the Union method and an AnalysisRegion.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Union(theSecondAnalysisRegion);

// Extend an AnalysisRegion using the Union method and a rectangle.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Union(new Rect(100, 100, 200, 200));

// Restrict an AnalysisRegion using the Intersect method and an AnalysisRegion.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Intersect(theSecondAnalysisRegion);

// Restrict an AnalysisRegion using the Intersect method and a rectangle.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Intersect(new Rect(100, 100, 200, 200));

// Modify an AnalysisRegion using the Exclude method and an AnalysisRegion.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Exclude(theSecondAnalysisRegion);

// Modify an AnalysisRegion using the Exclude method and a rectangle.
theFirstAnalysisRegion.Exclude(new Rect(100, 100, 200, 200));
