short Escape(hDC, GETSCALINGFACTOR,NULL, NULL, lpFactors)
This escape retrieves the scaling factors for the x- and y-axes of a printing device. For each scaling factor, the escape copies an exponent of 2 to the location pointed to by the lpFactors parameter. For example, the value 3 is copied to lpFactors if the scaling factor is 8.
Scaling factors are used by printing devices that support graphics at a smaller resolution than text.
Parameter | Type/Description |
hDC | HDC Identifies the device context. | |
lpFactors | LPPOINT Points to the POINT data structure that will receive the scaling factor. The x field of the POINT structure receives the scaling factor for the x-axis, and the y field receives the scaling factor for the y-axis. |
The return value specifies the outcome of the escape. It is positive if the escape is successful. Otherwise, it is negative.
