Rect

A filled or stroked rectangle in a layer.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Default	Description
x	signed pt	—	X of the left edge (or offset from anchor)
y	signed pt	—	Y of the top edge (or offset from anchor)
width	pt	—	Required. Width
height	pt	—	Required. Height
anchor	string	—	Reference point: when set, x and y are offsets, and the rectangle’s matching point is placed there
radius	pt	—	Corner radius
fill	color or gradient:name	—	Fill: a color, or a gradient that spans the rectangle
stroke	color	—	Stroke color
stroke-width	pt	—	Stroke width
stroke-dash	string	—	Dash pattern: "4 2"
shadow	string	—	A hard-edged shadow under the rectangle: "x y color", with an optional opacity after the color. See Shadow

Either anchor or both x and y must be provided. To fade a rectangle, put it in a layer with opacity.

Full-page tinted background (underlay)

A layer before the layout is painted under it.

XML

<layer page="each" opacity="0.4">
  <rect x="0pt" y="0pt" width="612pt" height="792pt" fill="#f0f4ff"/>
</layer>

Node.js

L.layer({ page: 'each', opacity: '0.4' }, [
    L.rect({ x: '0pt', y: '0pt', width: '612pt', height: '792pt', fill: '#f0f4ff' }),
])

Python

L.layer(LayerAttr(page='each', opacity='0.4'), [
    L.rect(RectAttr(x='0pt', y='0pt', width='612pt', height='792pt', fill='#f0f4ff'))
])

PHP

L::layer(new LayerAttr(page: 'each', opacity: '0.4'), [
    L::rect(new RectAttr(x: '0pt', y: '0pt', width: '612pt', height: '792pt', fill: '#f0f4ff')),
])

.NET

L.Layer(new() { Page = "each", Opacity = "0.4" }, [
    L.Rect(new() { X = "0pt", Y = "0pt", Width = "612pt", Height = "792pt", Fill = "#f0f4ff" }),
])

Inset border (stroke only)

A rectangle with no fill is drawn as an outline. The stroke is centred on the edge, so half of it falls outside the rectangle.

XML

<layer page="each">
  <!-- inset border 20pt from each edge on letter size -->
  <rect x="20pt" y="20pt" width="572pt" height="752pt"
        stroke="#cccccc" stroke-width="1pt"/>
</layer>

Node.js

L.layer({ page: 'each' }, [
    L.rect({ x: '20pt', y: '20pt', width: '572pt', height: '752pt', stroke: '#cccccc', strokeWidth: '1pt' }),
])

Python

L.layer(LayerAttr(page='each'), [
    L.rect(RectAttr(x='20pt', y='20pt', width='572pt', height='752pt', stroke='#cccccc', stroke_width='1pt'))
])

PHP

L::layer(new LayerAttr(page: 'each'), [
    L::rect(new RectAttr(x: '20pt', y: '20pt', width: '572pt', height: '752pt', stroke: '#cccccc', strokeWidth: '1pt')),
])

.NET

L.Layer(new() { Page = "each" }, [
    L.Rect(new() { X = "20pt", Y = "20pt", Width = "572pt", Height = "752pt", Stroke = "#cccccc", StrokeWidth = "1pt" }),
])

Bar along the top edge

anchor places a rectangle against the page, whatever its size.

XML

<layer page="each">
  <rect anchor="top-left" width="612pt" height="8pt" fill="#1763cf"/>
</layer>

Node.js

L.layer({ page: 'each' }, [
    L.rect({ anchor: 'top-left', width: '612pt', height: '8pt', fill: '#1763cf' }),
])

Python

L.layer(LayerAttr(page='each'), [
    L.rect(RectAttr(anchor='top-left', width='612pt', height='8pt', fill='#1763cf'))
])

PHP

L::layer(new LayerAttr(page: 'each'), [
    L::rect(new RectAttr(anchor: 'top-left', width: '612pt', height: '8pt', fill: '#1763cf')),
])

.NET

L.Layer(new() { Page = "each" }, [
    L.Rect(new() { Anchor = "top-left", Width = "612pt", Height = "8pt", Fill = "#1763cf" }),
])

Rounded highlight box

XML

<rect x="40pt" y="100pt" width="200pt" height="60pt"
      fill="#fff8e1" stroke="#f9a825" stroke-width="1pt" radius="4pt"/>

Node.js

L.rect({ x: '40pt', y: '100pt', width: '200pt', height: '60pt', fill: '#fff8e1', stroke: '#f9a825', strokeWidth: '1pt', radius: '4pt' })

Python

L.rect(RectAttr(x='40pt', y='100pt', width='200pt', height='60pt', fill='#fff8e1', stroke='#f9a825', stroke_width='1pt', radius='4pt'))

PHP

L::rect(new RectAttr(x: '40pt', y: '100pt', width: '200pt', height: '60pt', fill: '#fff8e1', stroke: '#f9a825', strokeWidth: '1pt', radius: '4pt'))

.NET

L.Rect(new() { X = "40pt", Y = "100pt", Width = "200pt", Height = "60pt", Fill = "#fff8e1", Stroke = "#f9a825", StrokeWidth = "1pt", Radius = "4pt" })
