Measuring a Shape in Local Coordinates
The function described in this section allows you to measure the size of a shape as it appears in its view ports--in local coordinates, after its transform mapping has been applied. Other QuickDraw GX functions are available to measure shapes in other contexts:
- To determine a shape's bounding rectangle in global coordinates, use the
GXGetShapeGlobalBounds
function, described on page 7-125.- To determine a shape's bounding rectangle on a view device, use the
GXGetShapeDeviceBounds
function, described on page 7-116.- To determine a shape's bounding rectangle in geometry-space coordinates, use the
GXGetShapeBounds
function, described in the geometric operations chapter of Inside Macintosh: QuickDraw GX Graphics.
