%RECT (x1, y1, x2, y2, color, line, size) ;

Parameters

x1, y1
specify the coordinates of the first corner of the rectangle. Values can be numeric coordinates, numeric constants, or numeric variables. For details, see the Annotate X Variable.
x2, y2
specify the coordinates of the second corner of the rectangle, which is drawn diagonal to the first corner. Values can be numeric coordinates, numeric constants, or numeric variables.

Details

The rectangle is drawn such that the first corner is diagonal to the second corner.
The %RECT macro produces rectangles that do not have fill patterns. Use the %BAR macro to generate filled rectangles. For more information, see %BAR, %BAR2 Macros..
