Rendered example

Output of the example above in our renderer (203 dpi). Not verified on a physical printer.

Parameters

Parameter	Meaning
`x1 y1`	Top-left corner, in dots; fields are space-separated, no commas
`x2 y2`	Bottom-right corner, in dots — not width/height
`t`	Line thickness in dots

Common mistake

Separating arguments with commas: CPCL fields are space-separated, so BOX 10,10,560,200,2 becomes one broken argument and nothing is drawn. Also x2/y2 is a corner, not a width.
