Suppose
we
wish
to
draw squares
of
various
sizes
and various colours
in
various positions
on the scale graphics screen.
If
we
define a procedure, square,
to
do
this
it
will
require four Items
of
information:
length
of
one side
colour (colour code)
position (across and up)
The square's
flosition
is
determined by giving two
values,
across and
up,
which
fix
the
bottom
left
hand corner
of
the square
as
shown below
ac+side,up+side
ac+side,up
up
ac
The colour of the square
IS
easily fixed but the square itself uses the values
of
side and
ac and
up as
follows.
