The Ellipse function draws an ellipse. The center of the ellipse is the center of the specified bounding rectangle. The ellipse is outlined by using the current pen and is filled by using the current brush.
BOOL Ellipse(
| HDC hdc, | // handle to device context |
| int nLeftRect, | // x-coord. of bounding rectangle's upper-left corner |
| int nTopRect, | // y-coord. of bounding rectangle's upper-left corner |
| int nRightRect, | // x-coord. of bounding rectangle's lower-right corner |
| int nBottomRect | // y-coord. bounding rectangle's f lower-right corner |
| ); |
Parameters
hdc
Identifies the device context.
nLeftRect
Specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle.
nTopRect
Specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle.
nRightRect
Specifies the x-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the bounding rectangle.
nBottomRect
Specifies the y-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the bounding rectangle.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The current position is neither used nor updated by Ellipse.
Windows 95: The sum of the coordinates of the bounding rectangle cannot exceed 32,767. The sum of nLeftRect and nRightRect or nTopRect and nBottomRect parameters cannot exceed 32,767.
