Declaration

Source position: graphics.pp line 1127

public procedure TCanvas.Frame3d(

  var ARect: TRect;

  const FrameWidth: Integer;

  const Style: TGraphicsBevelCut

); overload;

Arguments

ARect

  

Bounds for the rectangle on entry, the inner rectangle without the frame area on exit.

FrameWidth

  

Thickness for the borders drawn in the method.

Style

  

Bevel style used to draw the borders on the rectangle.

Arguments

ARect

  

Bounds for the rectangle on entry, the inner rectangle without the frame area on exit.

TopColor

  

Color used for the top and left edges of the frame.

BottomColor

  

Color used for the bottom and right edges of the frame.

FrameWidth

  

Thickness for the borders drawn in the method.

Description

Frame3D is an overloaded method used to draw a frame for the specified rectangle with a 3-dimensional appearance. It draws the frame using the Brush for the canvas with the style, colors, and size passed in the parameter values. Frame3D does not fill the inner area for the rectangle; it draws the frame or borders only.

ARect is the TRect instance with the bounds where the drawing operation is performed. It is a variable parameter updated in the method to return the inner area for the rectangle without the frame area.

The overloaded variants allow the drawing style and size for the 3-dimensional frame to be specified.

Style contains a value from the TGraphicsBevelCut enumeration and is used when a beveled frame is desired.

TColor values can be provided to use colors to simulate 3-Dimensional relief. TopColor is the color used to draw the top and left edges on the frame. BottomColor is used to draw the bottom and right edges on the frame. System colors like cl3DLight, cl3DHilight, cl3DDkShadow, cl3DShadow, and cl3DFace are commonly used in these parameters.

FrameWidth contains the thickness for the 3-D frame; for left and right edges it is the border width, for top and bottom edges it is the border height. The bounds in ARect are inflated by this value before exit.
