The CloneTagItems() function is used to copy an existing tag array into a new tag array. struct TagItem *otags; /* Original tag array */ struct TagItem *ntags; /* New tag array */ /* Make sure there is a TagItem array */ if (otags) { /* Copy the original tags into a new tag array */ if (ntags = CloneTagItems(otags)) { /* ...do something with the array... */ /* Free the array when your done with it */ FreeTagItems (ntags); } } This function can also be used to implement a function that will insert tag items into an array. struct TagItem *otags; /* Original tag array */ struct TagItem *tags; /* New tag array */ /* Insert a couple of tags into an existing tag array */ if (tags = MakeNewTagList (GA_LeftEdge, 10, GA_TopEdge, 20, TAG_MORE, otags)) { /* ...do something with the array... */ /* Free the array when your done with it */ FreeTagItems (tags); } /* This function will create a tag array from tag pairs placed on * the stack */ struct TagItem *MakeNewTagList (ULONG data,...) { struct TagItem *tags = (struct TagItem *) &data; return (CloneTagItems (tags)); }
