h2, v2 ...]
Description:
Draws a rectangle which has diagonally opposite corners at coordinates (h,v
) and (h1,v1
). The rectangle's frame is drawn using the current pen size, mode, pattern and color for the current window or printer. If the fill
parameter is specified, then the rectangle is filled with the current window pattern.
If the to
keyword is specified more than once, then several rectangles are drawn, each using (h,v
) as one corner, and the coordinates following to
as the diagonally opposite corner.
If the h
and v
parameters are omitted, then the rectangle's originating point is set to one of the following:
- The (
h,v
) coordinates of the most recent box
statement (in any window) that actually specified the h
and v
parameters;
- The last point specified in the most recent
plot
statement (in any window);
- (0,0), if no
plot
statement has yet been executed, and no prior box
statement that specified h
and v
has yet been executed.
