PDTS_ Pen Data Scaling

The PDTS_ data scaling units are used in the uScale and wPndtNew arguments of the CreatePenData and MetricScalePenData functions, respectively. These units are used for the wPndts member of the PENDATAHEADER structure. Positive x-coordinate is to the right; positive y-coordinate is down.

The following table lists the PDTS_ values. These values cannot be combined with the bitwise-OR operator.

Constant
Description
PDTS_ARBITRARY
The application has done its own scaling of the data point.
PDTS_COMPRESS2NDDERIV
The second derivative between points is stored.
PDTS_DISPLAY
Each logical unit is equivalent to a display pixel. Positive x is to the right; positive y is down.
PDTS_HIENGLISH
Each logical unit is mapped to 0.001 inch. Positive x is to the right; positive y is down.
PDTS_HIMETRIC
Each logical unit is mapped to 0.001 millimeter. Positive x is to the right; positive y is down.
PDTS_LOMETRIC
Each logical unit is mapped to 0.01 millimeter. Positive x is to the right; positive y is down.
PDTS_STANDARDSCALE
The standard scaling metric, equivalent to PDTS_HIENGLISH. Standard recognizers scale to this value.

The following table lists the PDTS_ bit settings. These bit settings can be combined using the bitwise-OR operator.

Constant
Description
PDTS_COMPRESSED
The data is compressed.
PDTS_NOCOLLINEAR
All redundant points removed.
PDTS_NOEMPTYSTROKES
All empty strokes removed.
PDTS_NOOEMDATA
OEM data removed.
PDTS_NOPENINFO
The PENINFO structure has been trimmed from the header.
PDTS_NOTICK
Timing information removed.
PDTS_NOUPPOINTS
All pen-up strokes removed.
PDTS_NOUSER
User information removed.

The following table lists the PDTS_ mask values:

Constant
Description
PDTS_COMPRESSMETHOD
Bits encode the compression scheme that is used.
PDTS_SCALEMASK
Mask scaling bits for hardware information.

For additional information, see the entries for the CompactPenData and MetricScalePenData functions in Chapter 10, "Pen Application Programming Interface Functions."
