The Graphic Element to display Emf Pictures.

Remarks

EmfPictureElement objects are picture elements placed on a page layout. You can can also place picture elements within a data frame, but it is more common to place them within a layout. EmfPictureElement s are pictures in the Windows Enhanced Metafile (*.emf) format.

Use this object when you want to manipulate the properties of a picture element.

Geometry: EmfPictureElement accepts geometry of type esriGeometryEnvelope or esriGeometryPolygon. If an envelope is passed it, it is converted to a Polygon internally. The geometry represents the frame the picture is drawn in and it is typically a rectangle.

Selection tracker used by this element.

Remarks

SelectionTracker returns the ISelectionTracker used by the element. Elements have associated selection tracker objects which provide reshaping functionality. For example, in ArcMap after adding an element, the element is drawn with a selection tracker around it and users can then drag one of the selection handles on the selection tracker to modify the element's shape.

                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Indicates if the given x and y coordinates are contained by the element.

Remarks

HitTest returns a boolean value indicating whether or not the current element is intersected by the specified coordinate pair and tolerance distance. For instance, if we have a line element selected, the HitTest is determining whether that line element is within the specified tolerance from the given X and Y. A value of TRUE is returned if the element is within the tolerance, while FALSE is returned if it is not.

getCustomProperty

                         throws IOException,
                                AutomationException

Custom property.

Remarks

CustomProperty is a place for developers to attach custom objects to an element. Previous versions of the software required that the specified variant be of type VT_UNKNOWN, i.e. a reference to an object, but that requirement has since been removed. Now, the CustomProperty can also be a simple type like an integer, double, boolean (VARIANT_BOOL) or a string (BSTR).

When this property is an object reference, the object must implement a persistence interface, so if you write a custom object it must implement IPersistStream or IPersistVariant. As an alternative to writing a custom object, you can use a PropertySet or XMLPropertySet, since they both already implement IPersistStream.

CustomProperty is never used by the core ArcObjects for its own elements, but the core software will expect to find an IPersistStream or IPersistVariant interface when the this property is an object reference, and it is part of an element being retrieved from or stored in an .mxd file.

Description

Stretches the Geometry a factor of sX along the X-Axis and a factor of sY along the Y-Axis (where sX is the ratio of Old Width to New Width, and sY is the ratio of Old Height to New Height). The Origin point is the reference Point from which the transformation is performed (Regardless of the location of the Origin point, the Geometry resulting from the transformation is the same, except for a positional offset). The Origin is the only point in the transformation guaranted to remain in the same location after the transformation is complete.

transform

public void transform(int direction,
                      ITransformation transformation)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

transform in interface ITransform2D

Parameters:

direction - A com.esri.arcgis.geometry.esriTransformDirection constant (in)

transformation - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ITransformation (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

applies

public boolean applies(Object pUnk)
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Indicates if the receiver can apply the given object at any given time.

Remarks

Applies indicates whether the specified object can be applied to the current object. For instance, we might want to ask our CircleElement whether a Color object applies to it. If it does, then we can use the Apply method to update our CircleElement with the new Color object.

CanApply differs from Applies in that it is a check for the editability of the object at any given time. Applies indicates whether an object can be applied at all, while CanApply indicates whether an object can be applied at that particular moment.

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

applies in interface IPropertySupport

Parameters:

pUnk - A reference to another Object (IUnknown) (in)

The applies

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

apply

public Object apply(Object newObject)
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

Applies the given property to the receiver and returns the old object.

Remarks

Apply will apply the specified object to the current object. For instance, I might apply a Color object to my RectangleElement. When I execute Apply, the object I replace (the old object) is returned.

Use the Applies and CanApply methods to determine if an Apply can be used on an object.
