Rectangle

Usage

Rectangle[{ ,  }, { ,  }] is a two-dimensional graphics primitive that represents a filled rectangle, oriented parallel to the axes.
Rectangle[{ ,  }, { ,  }, graphics] gives a rectangle filled with the specified graphics.


Notes

Scaled and Offset can be used to specify coordinates.
Rectangle[{ ,  }, { ,  }] is equivalent to a suitable Polygon with four corners.
• You can use graphics directives such as GrayLevel and RGBColor to specify how Rectangle[{ ,  }, { ,  }] should be filled.
• In Rectangle[{ ,  }, { ,  }, graphics], graphics can be any graphics object.
• The rectangle is taken as the complete display area in which the graphics object is rendered.
• When rectangles overlap, their backgrounds are effectively taken to be transparent.
• Fonts and absolute size specifications are not affected by the size of the rectangle in which the graphics are rendered.
• The options DisplayFunction, ColorOutput and CharacterEncoding are ignored for graphics objects given inside Rectangle.
• New in Version 1; modified in 3.
