Do not delete the CSFLine object returned from this method. Returns a NULL pointer if no objects exist in the overprint list. Example See also See this documents class level example #2. GetOverprintsOnLine, GetNextOverprintLine, GetOverprintLine, AddOverprintLine, RemoveOverprintLine, ResetLine, MergeOverprintLines Chapter 3: SFLine functions 61 CSFLine::GetNextOverprintLine (void) Return Value Parameters Remarks CSFLine* None Pointer to CSFLine object Does not remove the CSFLine object from the overprint list. Do not delete the CSFLine object returned from this method. [. . . ] Defaults to the first line of the page. Remarks CSFLine pointer should be freed and/or deleted after use (unless added back into a CSFPage object). CSFLine pointer is NULL upon failure. Example See the class level example #1 on page 68. 105 CSFPage::AllocateLine CSFLine* AllocateLine(void) Return Value Parameters Remarks CSFLine* None Pointer to CSFLine object CSFLine object memory may originate from an internal line hold buffer. Lines are added into the internal hold buffer by the ResetPage method. CSFLine pointer should be freed and/or deleted after use (unless added into a CSFPage object). [. . . ]
