rectangle() function, as the name describes this function is used to draw a circle using wand.drawing object in Python. rectangle takes many arguments like left, top, right, bottom, width, height etc.

Syntax : wand.drawing.rectangle(left, top, right, bottom, width, height, radius, xradius, yradius)

Parameters :

Parameter Input Type Description

left numbers.Real x-offset of the rectangle to draw.

top numbers.Real y-offset of the rectangle to draw.

right numbers.Real second x-offset of the rectangle to draw. this parameter and width parameter are exclusive each other.

bottom numbers.Real second y-offset of the rectangle to draw. this parameter and height parameter are exclusive each other.

width numbers.Real the width of the rectangle to draw. this parameter and right parameter are exclusive each other.

height numbers.Real the height of the rectangle to draw. this parameter and bottom parameter are exclusive each other.

radius numbers.Real the corner rounding. this is a short-cut for setting both xradius, and yradius.

xradius numbers.Real the xradius corner in horizontal direction..

yradius numbers.Real the yradius corner in vertical direction.

Parameter	Input Type	Description
left	numbers.Real	x-offset of the rectangle to draw.
top	numbers.Real	y-offset of the rectangle to draw.
right	numbers.Real	second x-offset of the rectangle to draw. this parameter and width parameter are exclusive each other.
bottom	numbers.Real	second y-offset of the rectangle to draw. this parameter and height parameter are exclusive each other.
width	numbers.Real	the width of the rectangle to draw. this parameter and right parameter are exclusive each other.
height	numbers.Real	the height of the rectangle to draw. this parameter and bottom parameter are exclusive each other.
radius	numbers.Real	the corner rounding. this is a short-cut for setting both xradius, and yradius.
xradius	numbers.Real	the xradius corner in horizontal direction..
yradius	numbers.Real	the yradius corner in vertical direction.

Example #1:

# Import different modules of wand 
from wand.image import Image 
from wand.drawing import Drawing 
from wand.color import Color 
import math 
   
with Drawing() as draw: 
    draw.fill_color = Color('GREEN') 
    draw.rectangle(left = 25, top = 50,  
                   right = 175, bottom = 150) 
  
    with Image(width = 200, height = 200, background = Color('lightgreen')) as image: 
        draw(image) 
        image.save(filename = "rectangle.png") 

Output:

Example #2:
setting corner-radius for the rectangle.
