PhGetRects

Arguments

Returns

The rectangle associated with the event.

Description

This function returns two corner points that define a rectangle set associated with the event. The output is a list containing a single instance of the PhRect class. The PhRect class has two members, the upper left corner (ul) and lower right corner (lr). Each of these members contains a dotted list of the name (ul or lr) and instances of the PhPoint class.

Example

This example, ex_PhGetRects.g, is included in the product distribution.

Running the following code:

#!/usr/cogent/bin/phgamma

/*
This example prints the location of the mouse pointer when the mouse
button is clicked or the mouse moves. The rectangle is a single point,
so the upper left corner of the rectangle is equal to the lower right
corner.
*/

PtInit(nil);

win = new(PtWindow);
PtRealizeWidget(win);

function cb_function ()
{
    princ(PhGetRects(cbinfo.event),"\n");
}

PtAttachCallback(win,Pt_CB_RAW,#cb_function());

PtMainLoop();

produces the following kind of output.

({PhRect (lr . {PhPoint (x . 64) (y . 42)}) (ul . {PhPoint (x . 64) (y . 42)})})
