Class box represents a simple rectangle. It is the
simples graphical
object of PCE.
Boxes may have rounded corners (see box->radius);
their line may have some
graphical->texture
(dash-pattern) and their inside may be filled (see box->fill).
- box <-
fill: colour
|{foreground,background}* - If a colour object is
specified, the box is filled using a solid colour. If the initial value @nil
is used the box is transparent. The reserved names foreground and
background use the current foreground and background colours from the
context.
Defaults: @nil
(transparent)
- box <-
radius: int
- The radius of the circle-fragments used to round the corners. When
larger than half the shortest side, this value is used instead of
box
<->radius.
A value of 0 implies square corners.
Defaults: 0 (not rounded)
- box <-
shadow: int
- Amount (pixels) of shadow painted below and right of the box. The
default is 0 (zero, no shadow).
- box ->initialise: width=[int],
height=[int]
- Create a box from W and H. The dimensions may be zero or negative.
- box ->shadow: int
- Amount of shadow added to this box in pixels. In the current
implementation, shadow is always black and painted below and right-of
the object.
