Details

PICFILL performs two functions:

It defines the four corners of the region in which the image is to be displayed.
It fills the region with the specified image.

If you specify a command, the PICFILL manipulates the image before displaying it.

Example

Display an image when the window opens:

init:
   imgfile=lnamemk(2,location,file);
   region_id=picfill(graphenv_id,"IMAGE",
                     15,12,40,78,imgfile);
return;
