- ************ FastLook Version 6.0 Manual Revisions ***********
-
- DLL Support:
-
- To clear the drawing windows, use the DrawDwgFile command with a null
- string ("") as the value of the drawing name.
-
-
- New FastLook DLL calls
-
-
- BOOL FAR PASCAL PlaceDwgNote(int Channel, char FAR * Note,
- double XPos, double YPos,
- int Color, double Height,
- char FAR * Length);
-
- This function will draw the text specified by Note at the AutoCAD
- coordinates XPos and YPos using the color specified by Color. The
- length of the text in AutoCAD drawing units is returned as ASCII text
- in the variable Length. Use a Color value of -1 to calculate the
- length of the text without drawing the text on the screen.
-
- Return values:
- 0 = Text was drawn successfully.
- -1 = Channel is not open.
-
-
-
- BOOL FAR PASCAL PlaceRectangle(int Channel, double UpperX, double UpperY,
- double LowerX, double LowerY, int Color);
-
-
- This function will draw a rectangle at the AutoCAD coordinates
- specified using the color specified by Color.
-
- Return values:
- 0 = Rectangle was drawn successfully.
- -1 = Channel is not open.
-
-
-
- Actually, the above descriptions say "AutoCAD coordinates" but these two
- functions should work on any file FastLook supports. The only difference
- is the type of coordinates you have to use. Scanned images that contain
- a DPI setting will use inches, HPGL files will use plotter units (1000 dpi),
- and bitmap images will use pixels.
-
-
-
- BOOL FAR PASCAL SetRegenClickInt(int Channel, int DX1, int DY1)
-
- FastLook sends the parent window (your application) a mouse click
- at screen coordinates DX1 and DY1 to notify your application that
- the drawing window has been repainted. Call the SetRegenClickInt
- function to change the mouse click coordinates. The default
- coordinates are -4,-4.
-
-
-
- DLL/DDE Message Support:
-
- An additional function number (404) has been added to the
- SendFLCommand (DLL) and the Message function (DDE) to cancel Redline
- and Linking modes.
-
-
-
- FASTLOOK.INI File:
-
- The FASTLOOK.INI file has been added mainly for the Network version but
- is included with the Single version of FastLook. The intent of this file
- is give the ability to limit the users access to various functions in
- FastLook. This file must reside in the FastLook Plus program directory
- to be used. The values found in the initialization file are listed below.
- If the value is set to 1, the functionality that the value represents
- is enabled. Setting it to 0 disables it.

- FastLook Plus Color Palette
-
- If you use FastLook with a 16 color driver, FastLook will use AutoCAD
- 16 color palette when viewing AutoCAD files. If you use a driver with
- more than 16 colors, FastLook will use the AutoCAD 256 color palette.
- This will result in the color numbers above 7 to display different than
- the 16 color version of AutoCAD. You can force FastLook to use the 16
- color palette by adding the following line to your FLUSER.INI file
- in the Windows directory.
-
- Acad16Colors=1
-
- Setting Acad16Colors to 0 allows FastLook to use the 256 color palette
- again.
