Returns a buffer containing four double precision values representing the xmin, ymin, xmax, and ymax coordinates that define an MBR (minimum bounding rectangle) type.

Syntax

void
FNC_MBRGetValue(GEO_HANDLE    mbrHandle,
                double *      mbrBuffer,
                int *         mbrSize  )

Syntax Elements

mbrHandle
A handle to an MBR type that is defined to be an input parameter to an external routine.
mbrBuffer
A pointer to a buffer that will hold the four double precision values that define the MBR.
mbrSize
Size in bytes of the value returned in the mbrBuffer buffer.

Usage Notes

FNC_MBRGetValue retrieves the xmin, ymin, xmax, and ymax values of an MBR type. The values are returned in the mbrBuffer as four double precision values. The caller of the function needs to allocate sufficient memory for the mbrBuffer buffer to hold four double precision values.

Example: Using FNC calls to get an MBR type value

The following function takes an MBR type parameter and returns an array of four double precision values representing the xmin, ymin, xmax, and ymax values that define the MBR.
