Syntax

dCircle([<Image>, ] <X1> , <Y1> , <X2> , <Y2> [, <Background color> [, <Line color>]])

<Image>: Optional control name or optional Image, WDPic or picLayer variable

Versions 24 and later
Image to use. This image can correspond to:
the name of an Image control.
the name of an Image variable.
This type of variable is not available.
If this parameter is not specified, it is necessary to define the drawing destination with dStartDrawing.
New in version 24

<X1>: Integer

X coordinate of top left corner of the rectangle containing the circle. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.

<Y1>: Integer

Y coordinate of top left corner of the rectangle containing the circle. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.

<X2>: Integer

X coordinate of bottom right corner of the rectangle containing the circle. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.

<Y2>: Integer

Y coordinate of bottom right corner of the rectangle containing the circle. These coordinates are expressed in pixels.

<Background color>: Integer or constant (optional)

Background color of circle. This color can correspond to:
an RGB color (returned by RGB),
an HSL color (returned by HSL),
a preset color of WLanguage,
Versions 22 and later
a Color variable.
New in version 22
a Color variable.
a Color variable. a Color variable.
If this parameter is not specified, the background color:
is Transparent if dBackground was not used beforehand,
corresponds to the color specified during the last call to dBackground.

<Line color>: Integer or constant (optional)

Color of circle line. This color can correspond to:
an RGB color (returned by RGB),
an HSL color (returned by HSL),
a preset color of WLanguage,
Versions 22 and later
a Color variable.
New in version 22
a Color variable.
a Color variable. a Color variable.
If this parameter is not specified, the line color:
corresponds to the color specified in the last call to dPen,
is identical to the background color if dPen was not used.

Remarks

Coordinates

The coordinates are specified in relation to the top left corner of the Image control (coordinates set to (0,0)).

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.
Versions 24 and later
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.
Versions 25 and later
This syntax is now available.
