<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Description">Description</span></h2>
<p>The rectangle tool creates a rectangle by picking two opposite points. It takes the <a href="Draft_Linestyle.html" title="Draft Linestyle">linewidth and color</a> previously set on the Tasks tab.

<p>The Rectangle tool can by used in <a href="Macros.html" title="Macros">macros</a> and from the python console by using the following function:
</p>
<pre>makeRectangle (length, width, [placement], [facemode]) </pre>
<ul><li> Creates a Rectangle object with length in X direction and height in Y direction. </li>
<li> If a placement is given, it is used. </li>
<li> If facemode is False, the rectangle is shown as a wireframe, otherwise as a face. </li>
<li> The current Draft linewidth and color will be used. </li>
<li> Returns the newly created object.</li></ul>
