Drawing Rectangles

[Brian]

Just messing with drawing rectangles. I want to use SetMapMode to set my widths in MMs, but as soon as I invoke MM_LOMETRIC, nothing prints to screen. I can set the outline colour of the rect, but the fill colour refuses to work

MM_ANISOTROPIC works, along with MM_TEXT, but MM_LOMETRIC refuses to display anything

Any ideas?

PS: Best I've got so far . . . re-attached

I tried all options and only ANISOTROPIC and TEXT are the only options that actually show the rectangle.

Got a rectangle to appear at last! The window is the correct size, and the grey rectangle is in about the right place. The rectangle should be 99.06mm x 33.87mm, and centred across the window

It's just getting the measurements right, because MM_LOMETRIC appears to measure from the bottom up! Quite confusing for my little brain
