How can you draw a box in Turing?

[hosamhosam]

How can u draw a box in turing, can u tell me what the (X,X,X,X,C) are
i know the C is color
so what are the rest?

x1, y1, x2, y2

they're opposite corners of ur box, (x1,y1) is ur starting point and (x2, y2) is second point, and turing draws a box using those 2 points. Like when u drag a box into existance in MS paint.

This is one of those basic things that you can learn for yourself. Play around with it.
try doing:

code:

drawbox (50, 100, 200, 250, black)

or

code:

drawbox (0, 200, 50, 400, red)

if you go into to turing and type in drawbox and hit F9 while the blinky cursor is over the word, it'll give you the help file

once there, you'll quickly discover that the syntax is:

drawbox (x1, y1, x2, y2, colour : int)

where x1, y1, x2, and y2 are integers to tell turing where on the screen to place the box.
(0,0) is the bottom left corner, (maxx, maxy) is the top right corner.

if you hit F9 on a comand in good versons of turing it will bring up the help and doc for that comand and if u hit F10 it will bring up the doc for all of turing. Also i think F8 when persed on a comand will bring up how to use it in the msg box at the bottom of the screen.
