XLIB FUNCTIONS                               XDrawRectangle(3x11)



NAME
     XDrawRectangle, XDrawRectangles, XRectangle - draw rectan-
     gles and rectangles structure

SYNTAX
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     int XDrawRectangle(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, int
          x, int y, unsigned int width, unsigned int height);

     int XDrawRectangles(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc,
          XRectangle rectangles[], int nrectangles);

ARGUMENTS
     d         Specifies the drawable.

     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     gc        Specifies the GC.

     nrectangles
               Specifies the number of rectangles in the array.

     rectangles
               Specifies an array of rectangles.

     width
     height    Specify the width and height, which specify the
               dimensions of the rectangle.

     x
     y         Specify the x and y coordinates, which specify the
               upper-left corner of the rectangle.

DESCRIPTION
     The XDrawRectangle and XDrawRectangles functions draw the
     outlines of the specified rectangle or rectangles as if a
     five-point PolyLine protocol request were specified for each
     rectangle:

          [x,y] [x+width,y] [x+width,y+height] [x,y+height] [x,y]

     For the specified rectangle or rectangles, these functions
     do not draw a pixel more than once.  XDrawRectangles draws
     the rectangles in the order listed in the array.  If rectan-
     gles intersect, the intersecting pixels are drawn multiple
     times.

     Both functions use these GC components: function, plane-
     mask, line-width, line-style, cap-style, join-style, fill-
     style, subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and
     clip-mask.  They also use these GC mode-dependent

     components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-
     stipple-x-origin, tile-stipple-y-origin, dash-offset, and
     dash-list.

     XDrawRectangle and XDrawRectangles can generate BadDrawable,
     BadGC, and BadMatch errors.

STRUCTURES
     The XRectangle structure contains:

     typedef struct {
          short x, y;
          unsigned short width, height;
     } XRectangle;

     All x and y members are signed integers.  The width and
     height members are 16-bit unsigned integers.  You should be
     careful not to generate coordinates and sizes out of the
     16-bit ranges, because the protocol only has 16-bit fields
     for these values.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadDrawable
               A value for a Drawable argument does not name a
               defined Window or Pixmap.

     BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a
               defined GContext.

     BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.

     BadMatch  Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct
               type and range but fails to match in some other
               way required by the request.
