Attributes for one object inherit to the others.
Examples:
•The frame is inherited from the pen. Therefore the border of a frame is drawn with the size, style and color you use for the pen.
•Boxes, framed text, barcodes, and bitmaps are inherited from the frame. Their surrounding rectangle is drawn with the size, style and color you use for the pen.
•Also the box implements a backgound mode (BkgMode), so the inner area of a box can be:
•filled with a solid color and optionally hatched
•transparent and optionally hatched
•one of the gradient styles
•The box of a text-box is drawn with the settings for the box.
So if you set the pensize to 0, no frame is drawn around any object.
NOTE: | "Frame" is a virtual object, you cannot access it (i.e. there is no function VpeFrame or so). To draw a frame, use the method Box() and set the background transparency to "on" with "BkgMode = VBKG_TRANSPARENT". |
