Change the params to ^CGRect (pointer to CGRect). You'll have to do same with DrawLineRect.

local fn DrawLineRect( r as ^CGRect )
// .....
end fn

local fn DrawWebLayout( jj as ^CGRect, kk as ^CGRect, ll as ^CGRect, mm as ^CGRect )
fn DrawLineRect( jj )
fn DrawLineRect( kk )
fn DrawLineRect( ll )
fn DrawLineRect( mm )
end fn
