GreBeginArea has no direct effect on current position, although it can be affected by drawing orders within the boundary definition. When GreBoxxxx or GreFullArcxxx functions are used within an area definition, they generate closed figures and must not be used within another figure definition. For more information, see "GpiBeginArea" in the Presentation Manager Programming Reference.
