ImgArea_GetSelection_JSN

Return the marquee selection rectangle.
ImgArea_GetSelection_JSN(areaRef) ➔ selectionJSON
areaRef Longint The plug-in area reference.
↩︎ selectionJSON Text The area’s current selection JSON format.

Return the marquee selection rectangle of a plug-in area.

The plug-in area is specified by imageRef.

The selection rectangle is returned in selection as a 4D object serialized in JSON format:

Property name Type Description
PointSelection RectObj The marquee selection rectangle expressed in points.
PixelSelection RectObj

The marquee selection rectangle expressed in pixels.

Present only when the plug-in area displays a raster image.

If there is no marquee selection, an empty string is returned.

Note

The ImgArea_GetSelection method in the Q2PixLib component is a convenience wrapper for this method that returns the selection directly as a 4D object instead of a JSON serialization.
