Fonts, Color, Paint and Brush

Fonts:

Using CreateFont method the specific string can be displayed on the output window.

Syntax:

CreateFont(height,width,tilting,orientation,font_width,italic,underline,strike_thorugh,charset,out_precision,clipping_precision,quality,family,font_name);

Ex:

Void projView::OnDraw(CDC *pDC)

{

            CDC *pDC;

            CFont mytext;

            mytext.CreateFont(40,10,0,0,0,1,1,1,ANSI_CHARSET,0,0,0,0,”Arial”);

            pDC->SelectObject(&mytext);

            pDC->TextOut(100,200,”Hello World”);

}

Color:

We can display the string using TextOut function. The color of this string can be changed using SetTextColor and background color can be set using the methos SetBkColor.

Ex:

Void projView::OnDraw(CDC *pDC)

{

            pDC->SetBkColor(RGB(0,0,0));

            pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(0,255,0));

            pDC->TextOut(100,100,”Life is wonderful”);

}

Note: Here color passed in these function is in RGB(Red,Green,Blue).

Red(R)	Green(G)	Blue(B)	Color
0	0	0	Black
255	0	0	Red
0	255	0	Green
0	0	255	Blue
255	255	0	Yellow
255	0	255	Magenta
0	255	255	Cyan
255	255	255	White

Pen & Brush:

Pen and Brush are the graphical objects used to draw the object and to fill up these objects. Pen is basically used for drawing line and shape border. The pen’s color and thickness can be specified. Brush full up object area with specific color. Brush has style to fill up area of the object.

 

Ex:

Void projView::OnDraw(CDC *pDC)

{

            CPen pen1(PS_DASH,1,RGB(0,0,0));

            CBrush brush1(HS_CROSS,RGB(0,0,0));

            pDC->SelectObject(&pen1);

            pDC->SelectObject(&brush1);

            pDC->Rectangle(100,100,500,500);

}
