GRECT()
Draw a rectangle in graphic mode
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
GRECT(<nXStart>, <nYStart>, <nXEnd>, <nYEnd>,
[<nStyle>], [<nColor>], [<nMode>]) --> NIL
Arguments
<nXStart>, <nYStart>, <nXEnd> and <nYEnd> define the
rectangle coordinates in pixels.
<nStyle> defines the style of the rectangle using one of the
constants listed in the table below:
Style Mode Constants
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Constant Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LLG_FILL The rectangle is displayed first and then it is filled with
the color and mode specified below
LLG_FRAME Display of the rectangle is restricted to its contour in
the color and mode specified below
------------------------------------------------------------------------
<nColor> is a numeric value that represents the display color. If
this parameter is missing, the last color specified in a call to a
CA-Clipper graphic function is used. The value range of values is
limited to the number of colors available in the selected video mode.
In 16-color modes, valid values are between 0 and 15. In 256-color
modes, valid values are between 0 and 255.
<nMode> represents the display mode. The following are valid
<nMode> values:
Display Mode Constants
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Constant Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LLG_MODE_SET Display in SET mode (ignores any pixels present under the
line displayed). This is the most common display mode.
LLG_MODE_AND Display in AND mode (executes an AND on pixels present
under the line at display time and on the display color).
LLG_MODE_OR Display in OR mode (executes an OR on pixels present
under the line at display time and on the display color).
LLG_MODE_XOR Display in XOR mode (executes an XOR on pixels present
under the line at display time and on the display color).
See note.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This method allows you to move objects around on the screen
without damaging the background. To retrieve the initial background,
just repeat the call for display in XOR mode. If the display mode
parameter is missing, the last mode specified in a call to a CA-Clipper
graphic function is used.
Returns
GRECT() always returns NIL.
Description
GRECT() draws filled or empty rectangles on the screen. This function
can be used only if you have set the screen to a graphic mode using
GMODE(). It respects the constraints defined by GSETCLIP().
Examples
. This example shows how to display a rectangle in a region
restricted by clipping:
// Switch to graphic mode
SET VIDEOMODE LLG_VIDEO_VGA_640_480_16)
// Restrict the display region to one portion of the screen
GSETCLIP(100,100,300,300)
// Draw a filled rectangle that is partially clipped
GRECT(120,120,350,350,LG_FILL,2,LLG_MODE_SET)
QUIT // End of application
