Description

clear_rectangleclear_rectangleClearRectangleClearRectangleclear_rectangle deletes all entries in the rectangle which is defined through the upper left corner (Row1Row1Row1row1row_1,Column1Column1Column1column1column_1) and the lower right corner (Row2Row2Row2row2row_2,Column2Column2Column2column2column_2). Deletion means that the specified rectangle is set to the background color (see open_windowopen_windowOpenWindowOpenWindowopen_window).

If you want to delete more than one rectangle, you may pass several rectangles, i.e., the parameters Row1Row1Row1row1row_1, Column1Column1Column1column1column_1, Row2Row2Row2row2row_2 and Column2Column2Column2column2column_2 are tuples.

Execution Information

  • Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
  • Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
  • Processed without parallelization.

Example (HDevelop)

* Erase a rectangle in the output window interactively:
draw_rectangle1(WindowHandle,L1,C1,L2,C2)

Example (C)

/* Erase a rectangle in the output window interactively: */
draw_rectangle1(WindowHandle,&L1,&C1,&L2,&C2);

Example (HDevelop)

* Erase a rectangle in the output window interactively:
draw_rectangle1(WindowHandle,L1,C1,L2,C2)

Example (HDevelop)

* Erase a rectangle in the output window interactively:
draw_rectangle1(WindowHandle,L1,C1,L2,C2)

Result

If an output window exists and the specified parameters are correct clear_rectangleclear_rectangleClearRectangleClearRectangleclear_rectangle returns 2 ( H_MSG_TRUE) . If necessary an exception is raised.
