Operator Reference
draw_rectangle1 (Operator)
draw_rectangle1
— Draw a rectangle parallel to the coordinate axis.
Signature
draw_rectangle1( : : WindowHandle : Row1, Column1, Row2, Column2)
Description
draw_rectangle1
returns the parameter for a rectangle parallel
to the coordinate axes, which has been created interactively by the user
in the window.
To create a rectangle you have to press the left mouse button determining a corner of the rectangle. While keeping the button pressed you may “drag” the rectangle in any direction. After another mouse click in the middle of the created rectangle you can move it. A click close to one side “grips” it to modify the rectangle's dimension in perpendicular direction to this side. If you click on one corner of the created rectangle, you may move this corner. Pressing the right mouse button terminates the procedure.
After terminating the procedure the rectangle is not visible in the window any longer.
Attention
If used in a buffer window, mouse events have to be supplied by the application, while the draw operator must be run in another thread.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
