Rectangle

Located on the Draw toolbar, Rectangle creates a series of 4 lines. There are two different methods for creating a rectangle. The fastest method is by dragging the cursor across the graphics window. A rectangle is created between two locations of the drag. The second method uses three points. The first point is the base point, the second point defines the length of the rectangle, and the third point defines the height of the rectangle. This is useful for creating rectangles at an angular orientation.
