XDrawRectangle(3X11)                 SysV                 XDrawRectangle(3X11)



NAME
     XDrawRectangle, XDrawRectangles - draw rectangles

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

     XDrawRectangles(display, d, gc, rectangles, nrectangles)
           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 a pointer to 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 rectangles intersect, the intersecting pixels
     are drawn multiple times.

     Both functions use these GC components: function, plane-mask, line-width,
     line-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.

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.
