Common vpxPrint tags > Shapes

Draws an unfilled rectangle within the page.

Syntax:

<RECT) [border_attribute] [#bookmark] >

<RECT) [border_attribute] [@FRAME#frameName] > (version 10.27c)

Two points are needed to draw a rectangle.

In the syntax <RECT> the <FROM> tag is the first one.

The TO point is always the current one, so the basic form of <RECT> is :

<R10><C5><FROM><R25><C30><RECT> (the <FROM> tag defines the starting point).

With a #3 bookmark :

draws a rectangle between the bookmark #3 and row 25, column 30.

Parameters:

")" or "("

Rectangle with rounded corners

border_attribute

note:

In version 9 and earlier versions 10, a standard corner was applied to round rectangles. That was not very fine for little rectangles.

Starting with the 10.12, a new corner technique was implemented, adjusting the corner size to the rectangle size.

With the 10.25g, you can manage the borders exactly as you want:

Fine adjustment of corners, allowed values:

•more than one ")": increases the radius value from the default value. Ex.: <RECT)))))>

•more than one "(": decreases the radius value from the default value. Ex.: <RECT(((>

•<RECT)nnn>: sets the radius to an absolute value. "<RECT)10>" gives the same value as the old "V9" fixed corner size.

•<RECT)+nnn> or <RECT)-nnn>: increases or decreases the radius value from the default value

Note: "<RECT)->" is the old fashioned V9 value.

[@FRAME#frameName]

The rectangle has the same coordinates as the frame #frameName

Note: lines of the rectangle are drawn with the value of attribute.
