FT_RGNSTACK()
Push or pop a saved screen region on or off the stack
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FT_RGNSTACK( <cAction>, [ <nTop> ], [ <nLeft> ], [ <nBottom> ],
[ <nRight> ] ) -> NIL
Arguments
<cAction> determines what action FT_RGNSTACK() will take. The
allowable values for this parameter are "push", "pop", and "pop all".
If the function is called with any other string as the first parameter
no action is performed.
<cAction> with a value of "push" will push a saved screen region onto
the stack. A value of "pop" will restore the most recently pushed
screen region. "pop all" tells the function to restore all screen
images which are currently on the stack.
The use of <nTop>, <nLeft>, <nBottom>, and <nRight> depends on the
<cAction> parameter. If <cAction> is "push", the next four parameters
define the screen region to save. If <cAction> is "pop" or "pop all"
the following four parameters are ignored.
Returns
FT_RGNSTACK() returns NIL.
Description
FT_RGNSTACK() allows multiple screens to be saved and restored from
a stack. The stack is implemented with Clipper static array that is
visible only to FT_RGNSTACK().
The purpose of FT_RGNSTACK() is to allow multiple screen regions to be
managed without the need to remember the original coordinates or to
create variables for each one.
When called with "push", FT_RGNSTACK() places the saved screen area
at the end of the static array. The array size is incremented by one
to accommodate the new screen area.
When called with "pop", the function restores the screen image stored
in the last element of the array, and the array size is decremented by
one. If "pop all" is specified, all the saved screens are restored
until the array is empty.
FT_RGNSTACK() calls FT_SAVRGN() and FT_RSTRGN(). Refer to the
documentation for these two functions for more information.
Examples
The following example uses FT_RGNSTACK() to save and restore various
sections of the screen.
@ 00, 00, 24, 79 BOX "111111111" // fill the screen with 1's
FT_RGNSTACK("push", 10, 05, 15, 15) // push a region
@ 00, 00, 24, 79 BOX "222222222" // fill the screen with 2's
FT_RGNSTACK("push", 10, 20, 15, 30) // push a region
@ 00, 00, 24, 79 BOX "333333333" // fill the screen with 3's
FT_RGNSTACK("push", 10, 35, 15, 45) // push a region
@ 00, 00, 24, 79 BOX "444444444" // fill the screen with 4's
FT_RGNSTACK("push", 10, 50, 15, 60) // push a region
@ 00, 00, 24, 79 BOX "555555555" // fill the screen with 5's
FT_RGNSTACK("push", 10, 65, 15, 75) // push a region
CLEAR
FT_RGNSTACK("pop") // restore the 5's region
FT_RGNSTACK("pop") // restore the 4's region
FT_RGNSTACK("pop all") // restore the 3's, 2's and 1's regions
