Syntax:
set object <index> <object-type> <object-properties> {front|back|behind} {clip|noclip} {fc|fillcolor <colorspec>} {fs <fillstyle>} {default} {lw|linewidth <width>} {dt|dashtype <dashtype>} unset object <index>
4#4object-type5#5 is either rectangle, ellipse, circle, or polygon. Each object type has its own set of characteristic properties.
Setting front will draw the object in front of all plot elements, but
behind any labels that are also marked front. Setting back will place the
object behind all plot curves and labels. Setting behind will place the
object behind everything including the axes and back rectangles, thus
set object rectangle from screen 0,0 to screen 1,1 behind
By default, objects are clipped to the graph boundary unless one or more vertices are given in screen coordinates. Setting noclip will disable clipping to the graph boundary, but will still clip against the screen size.
The fill color of the object is taken from the 4#4colorspec5#5. fillcolor
may be abbreviated fc. The fill style is taken from 4#4fillstyle5#5.
See colorspec (p. ) and fillstyle (p.
). If the keyword default is given,
these properties are inherited from the default settings at the time a plot
is drawn. See set style rectangle (p.
).
