Example

The following VB example draws a solid green line of the width of 3 in the alpha-plane over the live video:

ActiveGige1.DrawAlphaLine 100,100,200,200,3,0,255,0
ActiveGige1.Alpha =  True


Remarks

To draw multiple lines, call this method several times. For more information on the alpha-plane drawing refer to Alpha.
