7       tangles structure
8

SYNTAX

10       int XDrawRectangle(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, int x, int y,
11              unsigned int width, unsigned int height);
12
13       int XDrawRectangles(Display *display, Drawable d, GC gc, XRectangle
14              rectangles[], int nrectangles);
15

ARGUMENTS

17       d         Specifies the drawable.
18
19       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.
20
21       gc        Specifies the GC.
22
23       nrectangles
24                 Specifies the number of rectangles in the array.
25
26       rectangles
27                 Specifies an array of rectangles.
28
29       width
30       height    Specify the width and height, which specify the dimensions of
31                 the rectangle.
32
33       x
34       y         Specify the x and y coordinates, which specify the upper-left
35                 corner of the rectangle.
36

DESCRIPTION

38       The XDrawRectangle and XDrawRectangles functions draw the outlines of
39       the specified rectangle or rectangles as if a five-point PolyLine pro‐
40       tocol request were specified for each rectangle:
41
42              [x,y] [x+width,y] [x+width,y+height] [x,y+height] [x,y]
43
44       For the specified rectangle or rectangles, these functions do not draw
45       a pixel more than once.  XDrawRectangles draws the rectangles in the
46       order listed in the array.  If rectangles intersect, the intersecting
47       pixels are drawn multiple times.
48
49       Both functions use these GC components: function, plane-mask, line-
50       width, line-style, cap-style, join-style, fill-style, subwindow-mode,
51       clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.  They also use these GC
52       mode-dependent components: foreground, background, tile, stipple, tile-
53       stipple-x-origin, tile-stipple-y-origin, dash-offset, and dash-list.
54
55       XDrawRectangle and XDrawRectangles can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and
56       BadMatch errors.
57

STRUCTURES

59       The XRectangle structure contains:
60
61       typedef struct {
62               short x, y;
63               unsigned short width, height;
64       } XRectangle;
65
66       All x and y members are signed integers.  The width and height members
67       are 16-bit unsigned integers.  You should be careful not to generate
68       coordinates and sizes out of the 16-bit ranges, because the protocol
69       only has 16-bit fields for these values.

DIAGNOSTICS

72       BadDrawable
73                 A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Win‐
74                 dow or Pixmap.
75
76       BadGC     A value for a GContext argument does not name a defined GCon‐
77                 text.
78
79       BadMatch  An InputOnly window is used as a Drawable.
80
81       BadMatch  Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and
82                 range but fails to match in some other way required by the
83                 request.
