ZPlay.DrawFFTGraphOnHDC Method

Draw FFT graph on window control using window handle.

Pascal
function DrawFFTGraphOnHDC(hdc: HDC; X: Integer; Y: Integer; Width: Integer; Height: Integer): Boolean;
Parameters 
Description 
hdc: HDC 
Handle to device context. 
X: Integer 
Specifies the logical x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the destination rectangle. 
Y: Integer 
Specifies the logical y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the destination rectangle. 
Width: Integer 
Specifies the logical width of the source and destination rectangles.
Caution: There is minimal width value. See TFFTGraphSize
Height: Integer 
Specifies the logical height of the source and the destination rectangles.
Caution: There is minimal height value. See TFFTGraphSize
Return Values 
Description 
True 
All OK. 
False 
Error. To get error message read here

Function will use window handle to get device context of specified window and then draw graph on this device context. Drawing data are fully synchronized with audio data from wave buffer. All you need is to call this function when you need to refresh displayed graph data. To get smooth animation effect, call this function 10 - 20 times per second. You can create another thread to do this job.  

Note: This function must perform FFT analysis on audio data and this takes some time if you set too big gpFFTPoints value. If you set fast refresh interval, this can take too much proccessor time. Be careful. 

procedure TForm1.fftgraphPaint(Sender: TObject);
begin
 player.DrawFFTGraphOnHDC(fftgraph.Canvas.Handle, 0, 0, fftgraph.Width, fftgraph.Height);
end;
