CPoint::operator -
CSizeoperator-(POINTpoint**)const;**
CPointoperator-(SIZEsize**)const;**
CRect operator-( const RECT* lpRect ) const;
CPointoperator-()const;
Return Value
A CSize that is the difference between two points, a CPoint that is offset by the negation of a size, a CRect that is offset by the negation of a point, or a CPoint that is the negation of a point.
Parameters
point
A POINT structure or CPoint object.
size
A SIZE structure or CSize object.
lpRect
A pointer to a RECT structure or a CRect object.
Remarks
Use one of the first two overloads to subtract a CPoint or CSize object from CPoint. The third overload offsets a CRect by the negation of CPoint. Finally, use the unary operator to negate CPoint.
For example, using the first overload to find the difference between two points CPoint(25, -19)
and CPoint(15, 5)
returns CSize(10, -24)
.
Subtracting a CSize from CPoint does the same calculation as above but returns a CPoint object, not a CSize object. For example, using the second overload to find the difference between the point
CPoint(25, -19)
and the size CSize(15, 5)
returns
CPoint(10, -24)
.
Subtracting a rectangle from a point returns the rectangle offset by the negatives of the x and y values specified in the point. For example, using the last overload to offset the rectangle CRect(125, 200, 325, 400)
by the point CPoint(25, -19)
returns
CRect(100, 219, 300, 419)
.
Use the unary operator to negate a point. For example, using the unary operator with the point CPoint(25, -19)
returns CPoint(-25, 19)
.
Example
// example for CPoint subtraction
CPoint ptStart(100, 100);
CSize szOffset(35, 35);
CPoint ptEnd;
ptEnd = ptStart - szOffset;
CPoint ptResult(65, 65);
ASSERT(ptResult == ptEnd);
// also works on SIZE
ptStart = CPoint(100, 100);
SIZE sz;
sz.cx = 35;
sz.cy = 35;
ptEnd = ptStart - sz;
ASSERT(ptResult == ptEnd);
// example for CPoint unary operator
CPoint pt(35, 35);
pt = -pt;
CPoint ptResult(-35, -35);
ASSERT(pt == ptResult);
