FT_SAVRGN()
Save a screen region for later display
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Syntax

FT_SAVRGN( <nTop>, <nLeft>, <nBottom>, <nRight> ) -> cScreen

Arguments

<nTop>, <nLeft>, <nBottom>, and <nRight> define the portion of the
screen to save. Allowable values are 0 through 255.

Returns

FT_SAVRGN() returns the saved screen region and its coordinates
as a character string.

Description

FT_SAVRGN() is similar to Clipper's SAVESCREEN(), but it saves the
screen coordinates as well as the display information. The saved
area can be restored by passing the returned string to FT_RSTRGN().

Note that the strings returned from FT_SAVRGN() and Clipper's
SAVESCREEN() are not interchangeable. A screen region saved with
with FT_SAVRGN() must be restored using FT_RSTRGN().

FT_SAVRGN() calls Clipper's SAVESCREEN(). Refer to the Clipper
documentation for more information regarding this function.

Examples

The following example uses FT_SAVRGN() and FT_RSTRGN() to save
and restore a portion of the screen.

@ 00, 00, 24, 79 BOX "111111111" // fill the screen with 1's
cScreen = FT_SAVRGN(10, 10, 20, 30) // save a region
@ 00, 00, 24, 79 BOX "222222222" // fill the screen with 2's
FT_RSTRGN(cScreen) // restore the 1's region
