The source rectangle.

The amount by which to expand or shrink the left and right sides of the rectangle.

height

The amount by which to expand or shrink the top and bottom sides of the rectangle.

Return Value

Inflated rectangle.

Remarks

The Width of the resulting rectangle is increased or decreased by twice the specified width offset, because it is applied to both the left and right sides of the rectangle. Likewise, the Height of the resulting rectangle is increased or decreased by twice the specified height.

If the specified width or height shrink the rectangle by more than its current Width or Height—giving the rectangle a negative area—the rectangle becomes the Empty rectangle.
