dRoundedRectangle (Function)

In french: dRectangleArrondi

Draws a rounded rectangle:

in an Image control,
in a variable of type Image.
This type of variable is not available.
in a variable of type WDPic (on the background layer),
in a variable of type picLayer.

Remark: To draw custom rectangles, it is recommended to use dBorder.

Caution: A specific configuration is required to use this function in Linux. For more details, see The drawings.

Example

// Initialize the drawing in an Image control
dStartDrawing(IMG_Drawing)

// Draw a rounded rectangle whose background is light yellow
// and whose border is light blue
dRoundedRectangle(10, 10, 50, 50, 3, LightYellow, LightBlue)

// Draw a rounded rectangle whose background is light yellow
// and whose border is light blue
dRoundedRectangle(IMG_Drawing, 10, 10, 50, 50, 3, LightYellow, LightBlue)

a WLanguage preset color,
a variable of type Color,
transparent if this parameter is not specified and if dBackground has not been used.
Background characteristics:
variable of type Background. In this case, the gradient defined in the variable is ignored.
characteristics specified in the last call to dBackground if this parameter is not specified.
To use a gradient background color, call dRectangleGradient.

Using the drawing functions

The drawing functions can be used according to 2 methods:

Method 1: Using dStartDrawing
- dStartDrawing must be called before any other drawing function. dStartDrawing is used to define the element (Image control or variable) to which the drawing functions will be applied.
- When drawing on an Image control:
  - The drawing functions operate on a copy ("bitmap") of the image. You can use the drawing functions of Windows (via API or CallDLL32) but these functions must use the DC (Device Context) returned by dStartDrawing.
  - dEndDrawing and dStartDrawing must not be called in the same process.
    The drawing will not be displayed if dEndDrawing and dStartDrawing are called in the same process: it will be automatically erased.
Method 2: indicating the drawing target directly in the syntax (via a parameter)
The <Image> parameter is used to specify directly the target of the drawing. dStartDrawing becomes useless. This function must be deleted.

Drawing in Browser code

Some drawing functions are available in Browser code. The drawing functions in Browser code are based on the HTML 5 standard. More specifically, these functions are based on the "canvas" tag of HTML 5.

The drawing features in browser code are available for the recent browsers only (supporting the HTML 5 standard). To find out whether the drawing features are proposed by your browser, use DrawingAvailable.

Caution: To use the drawing functions with Internet Explorer 9, the project must include the reference to the DTD file. To do so, the HTML mode must be "HTML 4.01 Transitional + DTD". This option is available in the "Advanced" tab of the description window of project.
Reminder: To open the project description window, go to the "Project" tab, "Project" group and click "Description".

Special case: Drawing in the browser of an Android phone: The browser drawing functions are only available starting with version 3 of Android.
