Bounds - create a trect value from top left and size values classes unit
<![CDATA[
function Bounds ( const Top, Left, Width, Height : Integer ) : TRect;
Description
The Bounds function creates a TRect rectangle value from Top, Left coordinates, and Width, Height size values.
It provides a useful alternative to the Rect function, where you must know the bottom and right coordinates rather than the rectangle size.

Point Generates a TPoint value from X and Y values
PointsEqual Compares two TPoint values for equality
PtInRect Tests to see if a point lies within a rectangle
Rect Create a TRect value from 2 points or 4 coordinates
TPoint Holds X and Y integer values
TRect Holds rectangle coordinate values
Example code : Create rectangles using Rect and Bounds
var
rectangle1, rectangle2 : TRect;
begin
// Set up the first rectangle using the Rect function
// Note that we override the Types version of Rect.
rectangle1 := Classes.Rect(Point(10, 60), Point(50, 80));
// Set up an identical 2nd rectangle using the Bounds function
rectangle2 := Bounds(10, 60, 40, 20);
// Display the top left and bottom right coords of each rectangle
ShowMessageFmt('Rectangle 1 coords = %d,%d,%d,%d',
[rectangle1.Left,
rectangle1.Top,
rectangle1.Right,
rectangle1.Bottom]);
ShowMessageFmt('Rectangle 2 coords = %d,%d,%d,%d',
[rectangle2.Left,
rectangle2.Top,
rectangle2.Right,
rectangle2.Bottom]);
end;
