This function draws a rectangle in the designated object (screen, printer, image data).
Parameters
| Name | Explanation |
|---|---|
| DeviceValue | The device context or the raster image data (depending on the DeviceMode) |
| PrintRect | Structure containing the coordinates of points for the rectangle |
| DrawInfo | Structure whose members set the drawing information |
| DeviceMode | The designated object where the rectangle is drawn (0: Screen, 1: Printer, 2: Image data) |
Return Value
Returns True (nonzero) if successful. Returns False (0) if unsuccessful.
Explanation
The IKRectangle function draws a rectangle in the designated object (screen, printer, image data). The PrintRect member variables define the coordinates specifying the rectangle. The outline of the rectangle is drawn from the value set in the PenStyle member variable of the DrawInfo structure and the rectangle is filled by the value set in the BrushStyle member variable. When drawing a rectangle, it is recommended that the PenWidth, PenMode, PenColor, BrushColor, Transparent and BackColor member variables also be set. The BackColor is enabled when the Transparent is set to False and the pen is set to draw lines other than solid lines or the brush is set to draw hatch pattern.
This function can draw in the following designated objects: screen, printer, and image data.
If the DeviceMode parameter is 0 or 2 (the designated object is the screen or the image data) then the PrintRect member variables are in pixel units.
If the DeviceMode parameter is 1 (the designated object is the printer) then the PrintRect member variables are in 0.1mm units.
The differences from the ImageKit5
| Name | Explanation |
|---|---|
| IK5Rectangle: | DeviceValue, PrintRect, PrintInfo |
| IKRectangle: | DeviceValue, PrintRect, DrawInfo, DeviceMode |
PrintInfo and DrawInfo structures are different, however the member variables in PrintInfo are used in the same way in DrawInfo. If you set the Transparent parameter to True and then set the DeviceMode parameter to the value that you used in the ImageKit5 IKSetDeviceMode, then there is no difference between this function in the ImageKit10 and the ImageKit5.
The differences from the ImageKit6
BackColor has been added. If you set the Transparent parameter to True, there is no difference between this function in the ImageKit10 and the ImageKit6.
