Points

UDT

No

User-defined type that defines the number of vertices and the location of each.

Remarks

 

Points is something like the following UDT:

 

Type PolyPoint

  x         As Single

  y         As Single

End Type

 

Type PolyArray

  count     As Long

  xy(1024)  As PolyPoint    '---Can be any number of elements from 2 to 1024

End Type

 

Points is any UDT that must have the following structure:

the first member is a LONG integer point count

followed directly by the appropriate number of SINGLE precision floats to specify the actual coordinates

 

There must be at least two, and no more than 1024 vertices
