PROCEDURE PaintRgn (rgn:\xDDRgnHandle);

A handle to the region to paint.

DESCRIPTION
Using the pen pattern and pattern mode for the current graphics port, the PaintRgn procedure draws the interior of the region whose handle you pass in the rgn parameter. The pen location does not change.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The PaintRgn procedure may move or purge memory blocks in the application heap. Your application should not call this procedure at interrupt time.
