dev_set_window_extentsπŸ”—

Short descriptionπŸ”—

dev_set_window_extents β€” Change position and size of the active floating graphics window.

SignatureπŸ”—

dev_set_window_extents( rectangle.origin.y Row, rectangle.origin.x Column, rectangle.extent.x Width, rectangle.extent.y Height )

DescriptionπŸ”—

dev_set_window_extents changes the position and/or the size of the currently active floating graphics window.

The parameters Row and Column specify the new position (upper left corner) of the window. Note that the offset values specified under Edit -> Preferences -> General Options -> General Options -> Window open offset are added to the row and the column index, respectively. For more information, see the chapter β€œMenu Edit” in the β€œHDevelop User's Guide”. Negative coordinates of the position are ignored, i.e., in this direction the window will not be moved.

The parameters Width and Height specify the new size of the window. This is the size of the inner part that actually displays the iconic objects. If one of the two values is negative, this dimension will remain unchanged.

AttentionπŸ”—

This operator only works for single floating graphics windows, i.e., graphics windows that are neither docked nor tabbed.

Never use set_window_extents to change the size and position of an HDevelop graphics window. The operator dev_set_window_extents has to be used instead.

Using the code export feature of HDevelop, the code that is generated for this operator may have a different behavior than the related HALCON operator. For a detailed description of the code export of HDevelop graphics operators into the different programming languages see in the β€œHDevelop User's Guide” the chapter Code Export -> General Aspects of Code Generation -> Graphics Windows.

Row (input_control) rectangle.origin.y β†’ (integer)

Row index of upper left corner.

Default: 0
Minimum increment: 1
Recommended increment: 1
Restriction: Row >= 0 || Row == -1

Column (input_control) rectangle.origin.x β†’ (integer)

Column index of upper left corner.

Default: 0
Minimum increment: 1
Recommended increment: 1
Restriction: Column >= 0 || Column == -1

Width (input_control) rectangle.extent.x β†’ (integer)

Width of the window.

Default: 256
Minimum increment: 1
Recommended increment: 1
Restriction: Width > 0 || Width == -1

Height (input_control) rectangle.extent.y β†’ (integer)

Height of the window.

Default: 256
Minimum increment: 1
Recommended increment: 1
Restriction: Height > 0 || Height == -1

ExampleπŸ”—

(HDevelop)

dev_close_window ()
read_image (For5, 'for5')
get_image_size (For5, Width, Height)
dev_open_window (0, 0, Width, Height, 'black', WindowHandle)
dev_display (For5)
stop ()
dev_set_window_extents (-1,-1,Width/2,Height/2)
dev_display (For5)
stop ()
dev_set_window_extents (200,200,-1,-1)

ResultπŸ”—

If the values of the specified parameters are correct, dev_set_window_extents returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). Otherwise, an exception is raised and an error code returned.
