## Member Function Documentation

wxRect wxRect::CenterIn | ( | const wxRect & | r,
|  | int | dir = `wxBOTH`
| ) |  | const

Returns the rectangle having the same size as this one but centered relatively to the given rectangle r.

By default, rectangle is centred in both directions but if dir includes only `wxVERTICAL` or only `wxHORIZONTAL`, then it is only centered in this direction while the other component of its position remains unchanged.

wxRect wxRect::CentreIn | ( | const wxRect & | r,
|  | int | dir = `wxBOTH`
| ) |  | const

Returns the rectangle having the same size as this one but centered relatively to the given rectangle r.

By default, rectangle is centred in both directions but if dir includes only `wxVERTICAL` or only `wxHORIZONTAL`, then it is only centered in this direction while the other component of its position remains unchanged.

bool wxRect::Contains | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y
| ) |  | const

Returns true if the given point is inside the rectangle (or on its boundary) and false otherwise.

bool wxRect::Contains | ( | const wxPoint & | pt | ) | const

Returns true if the given point is inside the rectangle (or on its boundary) and false otherwise.

bool wxRect::Contains | ( | const wxRect & | rect | ) | const

Returns true if the given rectangle is completely inside this rectangle (or touches its boundary) and false otherwise.

wxRect& wxRect::Deflate | ( | wxCoord | dx,

Decrease the rectangle size.

This method is the opposite from Inflate(): Deflate(a, b) is equivalent to Inflate(-a, -b). Please refer to Inflate() for full description.

Gets the y member.

wxRect& wxRect::Inflate | ( | wxCoord | dx,
|  | wxCoord | dy
| ) |  |

Increases the size of the rectangle.

The left border is moved farther left and the right border is moved farther right by dx. The upper border is moved farther up and the bottom border is moved farther down by dy. (Note that the width and height of the rectangle thus change by 2*dx and 2*dy, respectively.) If one or both of dx and dy are negative, the opposite happens: the rectangle size decreases in the respective direction.

Inflating and deflating behaves "naturally". Defined more precisely, that means:

1. "Real" inflates (that is, dx and/or dy = 0) are not constrained. Thus inflating a rectangle can cause its upper left corner to move into the negative numbers. (2.5.4 and older forced the top left coordinate to not fall below (0, 0), which implied a forced move of the rectangle.)
2. Deflates are clamped to not reduce the width or height of the rectangle below zero. In such cases, the top-left corner is nonetheless handled properly. For example, a rectangle at (10, 10) with size (20, 40) that is inflated by (-15, -15) will become located at (20, 25) at size (0, 10). Finally, observe that the width and height are treated independently. In the above example, the width is reduced by 20, whereas the height is reduced by the full 30 (rather than also stopping at 20, when the width reached zero).
