RECTANGLE

Draws a rectangle.

Syntax

RECTANGLE [ x:measureValue ] [ y:measureValue ] [ w:measureValue ] [ h:measureValue ] .

Parameters

• x (measureValue, optional) - The x-coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle. The default is 0cm.
• y (measureValue, optional) - The y-coordinate of the top-left corner of the rectangle. The default is 0cm.
• w (measureValue, optional) - The width of the rectangle. The default is 0cm.
• h (measureValue, optional) - The height of the rectangle. The default is 0cm.

Details

The style of this command is defined by the PEN command for the outline and the FILL command to fill the shape.

The left and the right side of the rectangle are always parallel to the y-axis, the other two sides thus parallel to the x-axis.

Rotation of a rectangle is not possible. This has an influence on the drawing of relations where a rectangle's shape will change with different rotations. If a rotation of the rectangle is necessary then use a POLYGON instead.
