PgContrastBevelBox()

Draw a beveled box with gradients and a given level of contrast

Synopsis:

int PgContrastBevelBox( PhPoint_t *ul, 
                        PhPoint_t *lr, 
                        PgColor_t flat_color,
                        int contrast,
                        short depth, 
                        short width, 
                        PgColor_t outline_color, 
                        PgColor_t inline_color, 
                        int flags );

Arguments:

ul, lr

Pointers to PhPoint_t that define the upper left and lower right corners of the beveled box.

flat_color

A PgColor_t that defines the middle/neutral color in the bevel-gradients, and the box's fill color if you set Pg_BVB_FILL in the flags.

contrast

The contrast in the light-to-flat and flat-to-dark gradients, in the range 0 (low/no contrast) to 255 (high/max contrast).

depth

The number of isochrome lines in the light-to-flat and flat-to-dark bevel gradients. The sign of the depth controls the location of an (imaginary) light source:

• Positive depth -- illuminated from the top left.
• Negative depth -- illuminated from the bottom right.

width

The width of the bevel, not including outlines and inlines.

outline_color

The color of the outline rectangle.

inline_color

The color of the inline rectangle.

flags

Flags that affect the appearance of the beveled box:

• Pg_BVB_FILL -- fill the beveled box with flat-color.
• Pg_BVB_FULL_GRADIENTS -- each bevel has two gradients: light-to-flat and flat-to-dark. If this isn't set, the bevels have only one gradient; see the illustration above.
• Pg_BVB_DRAW_LEFT -- draw the left edge of the beveled box.
• Pg_BVB_DRAW_RIGHT -- draw the right edge of the beveled box.
• Pg_BVB_DRAW_TOP -- draw the top edge of the beveled box.
• Pg_BVB_DRAW_BOTTOM -- draw the bottom edge of the beveled box.
• Pg_BVB_DRAW_ALL -- draw all edges of the beveled box.
• Pg_BVB_DRAW_BITS -- turn on all of the above flag bits.
