SYC 

1.0    2.0     

The SYC symbol correspondence structure is best described in context with the SYG1AOCY. symbol graph and SYE3BE5AM5 symbol element structures. For a description of the SYC structure, see the entry for SYG below.

The SYC structure is provided only for compatibility with version 1.0 of the Pen API and will not be supported in future versions.

A single shape can be identified by one or more SYC structures.

typedef struct { 

     UINT    wStrokeFirst;

     UINT    wPntFirst;

     UINT    wStrokeLast;

     UINT    wPntLast;

     BOOL    fLastSyc;

} SYC;

Members

wStrokeFirst

Index number of the first stroke of the correspondence.

wPntFirst

Index number of the first point in the stroke identified by wStrokeFirst.

wStrokeLast

Index number of the last stroke of the correspondence.

wPntLast

Index number of the last point in the stroke identified by wStrokeLast.

fLastSyc

TRUE if there are no more SYC structures for the current SYE3BE5AM5 (symbol element).

Comments

All indexes are zero-based, so that an index of 0 indicates the first of a sequence.

Figure 11.6 illustrates the relationship of symbol values and symbol graphs. The first line shows that a symbol value is a single SYE symbol element. A series of symbol values can be connected by the SYV_OR value to create an OR string, as the second line illustrates. This OR string begins with the SYV_BEGINOR value and ends with a symbol value followed by SYV_ENDOR. The third line shows a symbol graph that is simply a symbol value or an OR string, in either case ending with the SYV_NULL value.
