Syntax
rectangle.Inflate(
widthChange
,
heightChange
)
inflate (
rectangle
,
widthChange
,
heightChange
)
Description
Command; changes the dimensions of the rectangle specified by rectangle
relative to the center of the rectangle, either horizontally (widthChange
)
or vertically
(
heightChange
)
.
The total change in each direction is twice the number you specify. For example, replacing widthChange
with 15 increases the rectangle's width by 30 pixels. A value less than 0 for the horizontal or vertical dimension reduces the rectangle's size.
Example
This statement increases the rectangle's width by 4 pixels and the height by 2 pixels:
rect(10, 10, 20, 20).inflate(2, 1) -- rect (8, 9, 22, 21)
Example
This statement decreases the rectangle's height and width by 20 pixels:
inflate (rect(0, 0, 100, 100), -10, -10) -- rect (10, 10, 90, 90)
