GetQDRegion

Mac OS

The GetQDRegion method returns an approximation of this shape in the form of a read-only QuickDraw region.

ODRgnHandle GetQDRegion ();

return value

A QuickDraw region that approximates this shape.

DISCUSSION

The returned QuickDraw region is owned by this shape; you cannot modify it or deallocate its storage. The region and its content are valid only until the next operation on this shape.

This method calls the GetPlatformShape method to obtain the QuickDraw region.

EXCEPTIONS
