box()

Bitsbox's box command lets you draw rectangles of any size and color.

You can use the box command with a lot of different parameters, or options. The color parameters are optional.

• box(X, Y, WIDTH, HEIGHT, COLOR, LINECOLOR)

The most basic usage takes four numbers. The first pair of numbers is the x and y position of the box's top-left corner. The second is its size.

A square at position 90,90 that's 400 pixels in size.
box(90,90,400,400)
The same square, but now it's in a new place.
box(100,500,400,400)
Now it's not a square, but a rectangle 100 pixels tall.
box(100,500,400,100)

You can also pass in color names for the box's background color and line color.

A small, tan square.
box(360,500,50,50,'tan')
Now it's a tan square with a red border.
box(360,500,50,50,'tan','red')

To change the thickness of the line, you can call the line command first, like so:

line(20) box(30,30,90,90,'tan','red')

There's a special color, 'clear' for when want a box with a border but no inside color.

A small, clear box with a red border.
box(30,30,90,90,'clear','red')
