How to Get the Nearest Grid Point on a Diagram

29 Feb 2016 / 1 minute to read

The GetNearestGridPoint method can be used to get the nearest grid point on a diagram based on a given point.

This method has the following two parameters:

  • Point - specifies the location which calculates the nearest grid point.
  • Int - specifies the ruler height.

The following code snippet illustrates the implementation of GetNearestGridPoint method:

//Current mouse position

Point ptMouse = new Point(e.X, e.Y);

int rulerHeight = (diagram1.ShowRulers) ? diagram1.RulersHeight : 0;

//Nearest grid point

PointF ptGridNearestPoint = diagram1.View.Grid.GetNearestGridPoint(ptMouse, rulerHeight);
Current mouse position 

Dim ptMouse As Point = New Point (e.X, e.Y)

Dim rulerHeight As Integer

rulerHeight = If((diagram1.ShowRulers), diagram1.RulersHeight, 0)

'Nearest grid point

Dim ptGridNearestPoint As PointF = diagram1.View.Grid.GetNearestGridPoint(ptMouse, rulerHeight)
