GRAPHIC BOX statement

Purpose

Draw a box with square or rounded corners in the selected graphic window.

Syntax

GRAPHIC BOX (x1!, y1!) - (x2!, y2!) [, [corner&] [, [rgbColor&] [,

[fillcolor&] [, [fillstyle&]]]]]

Remarks

The graphic target must first be selected with GRAPHIC ATTACH. The Coordinates are specified in the same terms (pixels or dialog units) as the parent dialog (or world coordinates, if those were chosen with GRAPHIC SCALE). Line width can be set using GRAPHIC WIDTH. If line width is set to 1 (the default), the line style can be set with GRAPHIC STYLE. Because of the nature of an arc, GRAPHIC ARC neither uses, nor updates, the last point referenced (POS).

x1!, y1!

The upper left corner of the box.

x2!, y2!

The lower right corner of the box.

corner&

The percentage of roundness of the corners, in the range of 0 to 100. A value of zero creates square corners, while 100 creates a circle/oval. A value of 20 being most common for a pleasant, rounded appearance. If corner& is omitted, the default is 0, which creates a rectangle with square corners.

rgbColor&

Optional RGB color of the box edge. If omitted (or -1), the edge color defaults to the current foreground color for the selected graphic window.

fillcolor&

Optional RGB color of the box interior. If fillcolor& is omitted (or -2), the interior of the box is not filled, allowing the background to show through. If fillcolor& is -1, the interior is painted with the same color as the edge. Otherwise, fillcolor& specifies the RGB color to be used.

fillstyle&

Optional fill style (pattern) to be used. If fillstyle& is omitted, the default fill style is solid (0). If a hatch pattern is chosen (1 to 6), the foreground color is specified by the fillcolor&, while the background is specified by the default background color. The optional fillstyle& may be:

0	Solid (default)
1	Horizontal Lines
2	Vertical Lines
3	Upward Diagonal Lines
4	Downward Diagonal Lines
5	Crossed Lines
6	Diagonal Crossed Lines
