Is there anything in the existing PYS60 library which allows you to check whether an x,y coordinate is within a rectangle drawn on the screen.

Thanks

hi dinnerdog
AFAIK there is no direct method to do what you want. But you can make your own algorithm for that like making your rectangle and then check wheather the coordinates can be compared or not.
Sorry this is just a hint.

There is nothing built in but it is relatively easy to make your own function to do this. You only need to know the coordinate of the given point and the coordinates of the rectangle.

def pointInRect(p,rect):
    if p[0]>=rect[0] and p[0]<=rect[2] and p[1]>=rect[1] and p[1]<=rect[3]:
        return True
    return False

#Rectangle format must be top left corner first and then the bottom right corner
rect = [10,10,20,20]
point = [12,13]

print pointInRect(point,rect)

the above function returns true if the point is in the rectangle, false otherwise.
hope that helped
