public class Rectangle
extends java.lang.Object
implements Element

A Rectangle is the representation of a geometric figure. Rectangles support constant width borders using setBorderWidth(float)and setBorder(int). They also support borders that vary in width/color on each side using methods like setBorderWidthLeft(float)or setBorderColorLeft(java.awt.Color).
