drawRECT

Draws a filled rectangle on the screen.

Syntax:
drawRECT x1 y1 x2 y2

x1,y1
The coordinates of one corner of the rectangle.

x2,y2
The coordinates of the opposite corner of the rectangle.

Example:

windowSIZE 640 480 8
drawCLEAR red ;paint the screen red
color white ;set drawing color to white
drawRECT 5,12 100,80 ;draw a rectangle

Example:

;performing a gradient fill:

if @desktopBITS<=8 ;requires HiColor or TrueColor windowSIZE mode
  exitnow
endif

windowSIZE 640 480 24
drawCLEAR white
set range 1+@drawMAXX-@minx

mark @minx @drawMAXX
  set red 255-((@loop-@minx)*255)/@range
  color @red @red 255
  drawRECT @minx @loop @drawMAXX @loop
endloop

wait

Remarks:

Rectangles are drawn in the current drawing color, which is set with the COLOR command.

drawRECT will not draw outside the current drawREGION.

Rectangle coordinates are affected by the drawOFFSET command.

Using SET drawAND ON, set drawOR ON or set drawXOR ON causes pixel colors to be affected by the background color.

Use the drawRECTROUND command to draw rounded-edge rectangles.
