C Syntax

void rectf

Coord x2, Coord y2)

void rectfs
(Scoord x1, Scoord y1,
Scoord x2, Scoord y2)

FORTRAN Syntax

SUBROUTINE RECTF(x1, y1, x2, y2)
REAL x1, y1, x2, y2

SUBROUTINE RECTFI(x1, y1, x2, y2)
INTEGER*4 x1, y1, x2, y2

SUBROUTINE RECTFS(x1, y1, x2, y2)
INTEGER*2 x1, y1, x2, y2

Note: For FORTRAN users, the INTEGER*2 version, the RECTFS subroutine, should not be called with integer constant parameters. For example, 2 is an integer constant; JJ is an integer variable. The XL FORTRAN compiler, invoked by the xlf command, stores all integer constants as long integers (INTEGER*4), not as short integers (INTEGER*2). Invoking the short version of this subroutine with an integer constant will result in unexpected behavior.

Description

The rectf subroutine produces a filled rectangular region, using the current area attributes: pattern, color, and writemask. The sides of the rectangle are parallel to the x and y axes of the object coordinate system.

Since a rectangle is a 2-D shape, the rectf subroutine takes only 2-D arguments and sets the coordinate to zero. The current graphics position is set to (x1, y1) after the region is drawn. Backfacing polygon removal works correctly if (x1, y1) specifies the lower left corner and (x2, y2) the upper right corner of the rectangle.

The syntax for each of the subroutine forms is the same except for the first argument. They differ only in that rectf expects real coordinates, rectfi expects integer coordinates, and rectfs expects short integer coordinates.

Parameters

Example

The example C language program tpbig.c uses the rectfi subroutine to draw a filled, red rectangle.
