Rendered example

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

Parameters

Parameter	Meaning
`x, y`	Top-left corner, in dots
`width, height`	Width and height of the filled rectangle, in dots

Common mistake

Writing corners as in BOX: BAR takes width and height, so BAR 50, 500, 700, 4 is a 700 × 4 dot bar starting at (50,500), not one that ends at (700,4).
