Syntax

Drawing a rectangle by specifying the coordinates of rectangle Hide the details

<Image control>.DrawRectangle(<X1> , <Y1> , <X2> , <Y2> [, <Background> [, <Line>]])
<Image control>: Control name
<X1>: Integer
X-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the rectangle.
<Y1>: Integer
Y-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the rectangle.
<X2>: Integer
X-coordinate (in pixels) of the lower-right corner of the rectangle.
<Y2>: Integer
Y-coordinate (in pixels) of the lower-right corner of the rectangle.
<Background>: Integer, constant or Background variable (optional)
  • Background color of rectangle. This color can be:
  • Background characteristics:
To use a gradient background color, call <Image variable>.DrawRectangleGradient.
<Line>: Integer, constant or Border variable (optional)
  • Color of rectangle line. This color can be:
    • an RGB color (returned by RGB),
    • an HSL color (returned by HSL),
    • a WLanguage preset color,
    • WINDEVWEBDEV - Server codeiPhone/iPadIOS WidgetMac Catalyst a variable of type Color,
    • identical to the color used for the background if this parameter is not specified and if <Image>.Pen has not been used.
  • Characteristics of the line:
    • WINDEVWEBDEV - Server codeiPhone/iPadIOS WidgetMac Catalyst variable of type Border. In this case, only the following properties are taken into account:
      • Color: if the Property corresponds to the constant UndefinedColorthe color defined during the last call to function <Image>.Pen is used. If this function has not been used, the background color of the rectangle will be used.
      • Thickness: if the Property corresponds to the constant ThicknessIndefinedthe thickness defined during the last call to function <Image>.Pen is used. If this function has not been used, the thickness will be set to 1.
      • Trait: if the property corresponds to TraitIndéfinithe stroke type defined during the last call to function <Image>.Pen is used. If this function has not been used, the line will be solid.
    • characteristics specified in the last call to <Image>.Pen if this parameter is not specified.

Drawing a rectangle via a Rectangle variable Hide the details

<Image control>.DrawRectangle(<Rectangle> [, <Background> [, <Line>]])
<Image control>: Control name
<Rectangle>: Rectangle variable
Name of the Rectangle variable that defines the coordinates of the rectangle to draw.
<Background>: Integer, constant or Background variable (optional)
  • Background color of rectangle. This color can be:
  • Background characteristics:
    • variable of type Background. In this case, the gradient defined in the variable is ignored.
      Java This type of variable is not available.
      Android Background variables are not available in this syntax. Use <Image variable>.DrawBorder to customize the background color.
    • characteristics specified in the last call to <Image>.Background if this parameter is not specified.
To use a gradient background color, call <Image variable>.DrawRectangleGradient.
<Line>: Integer, constant or Border variable (optional)
  • Color of rectangle line. This color can be:
    • an RGB color (returned by RGB),
    • an HSL color (returned by HSL),
    • a WLanguage preset color,
    • a variable of type Color,
    • identical to the color used for the background if this parameter is not specified and if <Image>.Pen has not been used.
