plot::Rectangle( $`x_{min}`..`x_{max}`$ , $`y_{min}`..`y_{max}`$ ) generates the 2D rectangle with the corners $(`x_{min}`, `y_{min}`)$ , $(`x_{min}`, `y_{max}`)$ , $(`x_{max}`, `y_{min}`)$ , $(`x_{max}`, `y_{max}`)$ .

→ Examples

Call:

plot::Rectangle( $`x_{min}`$ .. $`x_{max}`$ , $`y_{min}`$ .. $`y_{max}`$ , <a = amin .. amax>, Options)

Parameters:

$`x_{min}`$ .. $`x_{max}`$ :	the left and right border of the rectangle: real numerical values or arithmetical expressions of the animation parameter a. $`x_{min}`$ .. $`x_{max}`$ is equivalent to the attributes XRange, XMin, XMax.
$`y_{min}`$ .. $`y_{max}`$ :	the lower and upper border of the rectangle: real numerical values or arithmetical expressions of the animation parameter a. $`y_{min}`$ .. $`y_{max}`$ is equivalent to the attributes YRange, YMin, YMax.

Details:

plot::Rectangle creates a 2D rectangle with edges parallel to the coordinate axes.
With Filled = FALSE, the rectangle consists only of its edges. With Filled = TRUE, it is a filled area.
The lines can be set as desired with LineStyle, LineWidth, and LineColor. Cf. example 1.

With LinesVisible = FALSE, the edges are rendered invisible.
For filled rectangles, a FillColor and a FillPattern can be selected. Cf. example 2.

Example 1

We plot two rectangles:

plot(plot::Rectangle(-2..2, -2..2, Filled = TRUE,
                     FillColor = RGB::Red),
     plot::Rectangle(1..5, 1..5, Filled = FALSE,
                     LineColor = RGB::Black,
                     LineStyle = Dashed))

Example 2

We plot rectangles with different fill patterns (FillPattern):

plot(plot::Rectangle(0..1, 2..3, Filled = TRUE,
                     FillPattern = Solid,
                     FillColor = RGB::Red),
     plot::Rectangle(1..2, 2..3, Filled = TRUE,
                     FillPattern = CrossedLines,
                     FillColor = RGB::Green),
     plot::Rectangle(2..3, 2..3, Filled = TRUE,
                     FillPattern = XCrossedLines,
                     FillColor = RGB::Blue),
     plot::Rectangle(0..1, 1..2, Filled = TRUE,
                     FillPattern = HorizontalLines,
                     FillColor = RGB::Orange),
     plot::Rectangle(1..2, 1..2, Filled = TRUE,
                     FillPattern = VerticalLines,
                     FillColor = RGB::Violet),
     plot::Rectangle(0..1, 0..1, Filled = TRUE,
                     FillPattern = DiagonalLines,
                     FillColor = RGB::Brown),
     plot::Rectangle(1..2, 0..1, Filled = TRUE,
                     FillPattern = FDiagonalLines,
                     FillColor = RGB::Cyan))
