Constructor of array of Point

*amp*rea

Hello,

I want to make a matrix like this:

System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix^ L;
L=gcnew( System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix::Matrix(rect,plgpts));

System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix^ L; L=gcnew( System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix::Matrix(rect,plgpts));

rect works properly but not plgpts
plgpts is an array of Points.
So I make that:

cli::arraySystem::Drawing::Point^ plgpts;
plgpts=gcnew(cli::array<System::Drawing::Point, 3>);

and I have this errors:

Error C3149: 'cli::array<Type,dimension>' : cannot use this type here without a top-level '^'
Error C2748: managed array creation must have array size or array initializer

I don't know how to solve them.
Could anyone of you help me??

Thank you in advanced!

Hello,

I'll have a try:

Error C3149: 'cli::array<Type,dimension>' : cannot use this type here without a top-level '^'

System::Drawing::Point is a reference type, so you have to use the "^" to specify this:

cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^>^ plgpts;

Error C2748: managed array creation must have array size or array initializer

The sizes of the dimensions (e.g. 10) are missing, you want three of them, i.e.:

plgpts=gcnew cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^, 3>(10, 10, 10);

Thank you for your help but it doesn't work.

I have proved 2 possibilities.

Possibility 1:

cli::arraySystem::Drawing::Point^^ plgpts;
plgpts=gcnew( cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^, 3>(1, 1, 1));

Errors:
error C2564: 'cli::array<Type,dimension>' : a function-style conversion to a built-in type can only take one argument
error C2059: syntax error : ';'

Possibility 2:

cli::arraySystem::Drawing::Point^^ plgpts;
plgpts=gcnew cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^, 3>(1, 1, 1);

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'cli::array<Type,dimension> ^' to 'cli::array<Type> ^'

The errors are different if I make gcnew with or without ().
I don't understand!
If you have another idea...

The dimension was missing :

cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^, 3>^ plgpts; // here
plgpts=gcnew cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^, 3>(1, 1, 1);

Vieeelen Daaank!!!!

now it works!!!!
if there is no problem could you help me with another thing??

To create a point is like that :

System::Drawing::Point^ pt1;
System::Drawing::Point^ pt2;
System::Drawing::Point^ pt3;
pt1=gcnew(System::Drawing::Point::Point(0,0));
pt2=gcnew(System::Drawing::Point::Point(0,2048));
pt3=gcnew(System::Drawing::Point::Point(1536,2048));

now I don't know how add this to the array. I mean that I need in the first position the point (0,0), in the second one (0,2048) and in the third one (1536,2048).
How can I make it?

Vielen Dank im Voraus!

german or english, which language do you prefer ?

Actually, you don't need an multidimensional array here if you only want to pass it to the Matrix constructor. You just add three Points to the array like this:

cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^>^ plgpts; // no dimension means single-dimension
plgpts = gcnew cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^>(3); // 3 for 3 Points

// define Points
System::Drawing::Point^ pt1; 
System::Drawing::Point^ pt2; 
System::Drawing::Point^ pt3; 
pt1=gcnew System::Drawing::Point::Point(0,0); 
pt2=gcnew System::Drawing::Point::Point(0,2048); 
pt3=gcnew System::Drawing::Point::Point(1536,2048); 

// add them to the array
plgpts[0] = pt1;
plgpts[1] = pt2;
plgpts[2] = pt3;

or:

cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^>^ plgpts = gcnew cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^>{pt1, pt2, pt3};

or:

cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^>^ plgpts = {pt1, pt2, pt3};

ich weiß ein bisschen Deutsch aber nicht genug um technische Sachen zu sprechen, jjeje!!

I have proved your suggestions and all of them have the same problem:

error C2059: syntax error : ';'

3 times, one for each of those lines

pt1=gcnew (System::Drawing::Point::Point(0,0));
	pt2=gcnew (System::Drawing::Point::Point(0,2048));
	pt3=gcnew (System::Drawing::Point::Point(1536,2048));

and too
Error C2665: 'System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix::Matrix' : none of the 6 overloads could convert all the argument types

in

L=gcnew( System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix::Matrix(rect,plgpts));

but I supposed that it comes from the error of the points.

my mistake, try it like this:

// omit one ::Point in all of the Point definitions
pt1=gcnew System::Drawing::Point(0,0);
...

the same with Matrix:

L=gcnew System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix(rect,plgpts);

I have made these changes and now I have got another error but I don't understand why, it says something about RectangleF and I am not using it. If I change my Rectangle into RectangleF there is also another error.

System::Drawing::Rectangle^ rect;
        System::Drawing::Bitmap^ img;
	img=gcnew System::Drawing::Bitmap(image);
	int nc=img->Width;
	int nr=img->Height;
        rect=System::Drawing::Rectangle(0, 0, nc, nr);

        L=gcnew System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix(rect,plgpts);

error C2664: 'System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix::Matrix(System::Drawing::RectangleF,cli::array<Type,dimension> ^)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'System::Drawing::Rectangle ^' to 'System::Drawing::RectangleF'

if I declare it as RectangleF this is the error (the same as before)

error C2664: 'System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix::Matrix(System::Drawing::RectangleF,cli::array<Type,dimension> ^)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'System::Drawing::RectangleF ^' to 'System::Drawing::RectangleF'

both of the System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix constructors with Rectangle(F) arguments expect a value type as first argument. Look at the declaration:

public:
Matrix (
	Rectangle rect, 
	array<Point>^ plgpts
)

There's no "^" next to Rectangle, therefore:

System::Drawing::Rectangle rect;

is the right way to declare the rect.

System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix^ L;
	System::Drawing::Rectangle rect;
        cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^>^ plgpts; 
	plgpts = gcnew cli::array<System::Drawing::Point^>(3); // 3 for 3 Points

	System::Drawing::Point^ pt1;
	System::Drawing::Point^ pt2;
	System::Drawing::Point^ pt3;

	pt1=gcnew System::Drawing::Point(0,0);
	pt2=gcnew System::Drawing::Point(0,2048);
	pt3=gcnew System::Drawing::Point(2048,1536);

	plgpts[0] = pt1;
	plgpts[1] = pt2;
	plgpts[2] = pt3;

	System::Drawing::Bitmap^ img;

	img=gcnew System::Drawing::Bitmap(image);
	int nc=img->Width;
	int nr=img->Height;
	rect=System::Drawing::Rectangle(0, 0, nc, nr);

	L=gcnew System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix(rect,plgpts);

this is what I have until now. Now that there is no problem in the first parameter there is another one with the second one. Puff!!it has no end

error C2664: 'System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix::Matrix(System::Drawing::RectangleF,cli::array<Type,dimension> ^)' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'cli::array<Type> ^' to 'cli::array<Type,dimension> ^'

yet another change:

System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix^ L;
    System::Drawing::Rectangle rect;
        cli::array<System::Drawing::Point>^ plgpts; 
    plgpts = gcnew cli::array<System::Drawing::Point>(3); // 3 for 3 Points

    System::Drawing::Point pt1;
    System::Drawing::Point pt2;
    System::Drawing::Point pt3;

    pt1=System::Drawing::Point(0,0);
    pt2=System::Drawing::Point(0,2048);
    pt3=System::Drawing::Point(2048,1536);

    plgpts[0] = pt1;
    plgpts[1] = pt2;
    plgpts[2] = pt3;

    System::Drawing::Bitmap^ img;

    img=gcnew System::Drawing::Bitmap(image);
    int nc=img->Width;
    int nr=img->Height;
    rect=System::Drawing::Rectangle(0, 0, nc, nr);

    L=gcnew System::Drawing::Drawing2D::Matrix(rect,plgpts);

puff!!it's unbelievable that nothing works. Now the errors are in the points

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'System::Drawing::Point ^' to 'System::Drawing::Point'

The constructor of Matrix in the second parameter needs this
cli::arraySystem::Drawing::Point,1^plgpts

maybe there is something wrong with that 1, or we don't need Point to be Point^ but if I try there's the error of above.

change the array's initialization:

cli::array<System::Drawing::Point>^ plgpts = gcnew cli::array<System::Drawing::Point>{System::Drawing::Point(0,0), System::Drawing::Point(0,2048), System::Drawing::Point(2048,1536)};

then the following lines:

plgpts = gcnew cli::array<System::Drawing::Point>(3); // 3 for 3 Points

    System::Drawing::Point pt1;
    System::Drawing::Point pt2;
    System::Drawing::Point pt3;

    pt1=System::Drawing::Point(0,0);
    pt2=System::Drawing::Point(0,2048);
    pt3=System::Drawing::Point(2048,1536);

    plgpts[0] = pt1;
    plgpts[1] = pt2;
    plgpts[2] = pt3;

can be removed.

wunderbaaaar!!!

Thank you so much for your help and dedication!!
