Rectangle

Creates a Rectangle object.

Parameters:
• point: Point — the top-left point of the rectangle
• size: Size — the size of the rectangle

Creates a rectangle object.

Parameters:
• x: Number — the left coordinate
• y: Number — the top coordinate
• width: Number
• height: Number

Creates a rectangle object from the passed points. These do not necessarily need to be the top left and bottom right corners, the constructor figures out how to fit a rectangle between them.

Parameters:
• point1: Point — The first point defining the rectangle
• point2: Point — The second point defining the rectangle

Creates a new rectangle object from the passed rectangle object.

Parameters:
• rt: Rectangle

Checks whether the coordinates and size of the rectangle are equal to that of the supplied rectangle.

Returns:
• Boolean — true if the rectangles are equal, false otherwise

The x position of the rectangle.

Type:
• Number

The y position of the rectangle.

Type:
• Number

The width of the rectangle.

Type:
• Number

The height of the rectangle.

Type:
• Number

The top-left point of the rectangle

Type:
• Point

The size of the rectangle

Type:
• Size

The position of the left hand side of the rectangle. Note that this doesn't move the whole rectangle; the right hand side stays where it was.

Type:
• Number

The top coordinate of the rectangle. Note that this doesn't move the whole rectangle: the bottom won't move.

Type:
• Number

The position of the right hand side of the rectangle. Note that this doesn't move the whole rectangle; the left hand side stays where it was.

Type:
• Number

The bottom coordinate of the rectangle. Note that this doesn't move the whole rectangle: the top won't move.

Type:
• Number

The center point of the rectangle.

Type:
• Point

The top-left point of the rectangle.

Type:
• Point

The top-right point of the rectangle.

Type:
• Point

The bottom-left point of the rectangle.

Type:
• Point

The bottom-right point of the rectangle.

Type:
• Point

The left-center point of the rectangle.

Type:
• Point

The top-center point of the rectangle.

Type:
• Point

The right-center point of the rectangle.

Type:
• Point

The bottom-center point of the rectangle.

Type:
• Point

Returns:
• Boolean — true the rectangle is empty, false otherwise

Returns:
• String — A string representation of this rectangle.

Tests if the specified point is inside the boundary of the rectangle.

Parameters:
• point: Point — the specified point

Returns:
• Boolean — true if the point is inside the rectangle's boundary, false otherwise

Example — Checking whether the mouse position falls within the bounding rectangle of an item:

Tests if the interior of the rectangle entirely contains the specified rectangle.

Parameters:
• rect: Rectangle — The specified rectangle

Returns:
• Boolean — true if the rectangle entirely contains the specified rectangle, false otherwise

Example — Checking whether the bounding box of one item is contained within that of another item:

Tests if the interior of this rectangle intersects the interior of another rectangle.

Parameters:
• rect: Rectangle — the specified rectangle

Returns:
• Boolean — true if the rectangle and the specified rectangle intersect each other, false otherwise

Example — Checking whether the bounding box of one item intersects with that of another item:

Returns a new rectangle representing the intersection of this rectangle with the specified rectangle.

Parameters:
• rect: Rectangle — The rectangle to be intersected with this rectangle

Returns:
• Rectangle — The largest rectangle contained in both the specified rectangle and in this rectangle.

Example — Intersecting two rectangles and visualizing the result using rectangle shaped paths:

Returns a new rectangle representing the union of this rectangle with the specified rectangle.

Parameters:
• rect: Rectangle — the rectangle to be combined with this rectangle

Returns:
• Rectangle — the smallest rectangle containing both the specified rectangle and this rectangle.

Adds a point to this rectangle. The resulting rectangle is the smallest rectangle that contains both the original rectangle and the specified point.

After adding a point, a call to contains(point) with the added point as an argument does not necessarily return true.

The rectangle.contains(point) method does not return true for points on the right or bottom edges of a rectangle. Therefore, if the added point falls on the left or bottom edge of the enlarged rectangle, rectangle.contains(point) returns false for that point.

Parameters:
• point: Point
