Syntax

<Result> = gRectangle(<X1> , <Y1> , <X2> , <Y2> [, <Background color> [, <Line color>]])

<Result>: Character string

This sequence of characters can be:
used in ListAdd, ListInsert or ListModify.
assigned to a Static control.
used in the title bar or status bar of a window.
This sequence of characters is not interpreted by the controls in WEBDEV. This function can be used to format the string returned by a WEBDEV Webservice consumed by a WINDEV or WINDEV Mobile application.

<X1>: Real

X coordinate (in pixels) of the top left corner of the rectangle to draw.

<Y1>: Real

Y coordinate (in pixels) of the top left corner of the rectangle to draw.

<X2>: Real

X coordinate (in pixels) of the bottom right corner of the rectangle to draw.

<Y2>: Real

Y coordinate (in pixels) of the bottom right corner of the rectangle to draw.

<Background color>: Integer or constant (optional)

Background color of rectangle. This color can correspond to:
an RGB color (returned by RGB),
an HSL color (returned by HSL),
a preset color of WLanguage.
If this parameter is not specified, the background color corresponds to the background color of the current text (defined by gBackground).

<Line color>: Integer or constant (optional)

Color of rectangle line. This color can correspond to:
an RGB color (returned by RGB),
an HSL color (returned by HSL),
a preset color of WLanguage.
If this parameter is not specified, the color of the line corresponds to the color of the current text (defined by gPen).

The height of the reference rectangle is set to <Y2> - <Y1>.
