Defining areas
- Up to four areas can be set. We’ll use area numbers to call these
areas area 1 to area 4.
- Each area is set as a quadrangle whose sides are parallel to the X-
and Y-axes.
Each area includes the border of the quadrangle.
- An area is defined by setting one of the two pairs of diagonal
vertexes of a quadrangle. (See Fig. 7.1.17(b).)
Either of the two vertex pairs may be used to determine a unique
quadrangle.
If two diagonal vertexes are at the same coordinates, the area is a
point.
- When two or more areas overlap each other, the area override for
the area with the smallest area number is used for the overlap
portion. (See Fig. 7.1.17(c).)
