Rect Class
<p>Creates an rectangle shape with editable attributes.</p>
<p>Rect instances can be created using the <a href="Graphic.html#method_addShape">addShape</a> method of the
<a href="Graphic.html">Graphic</a> class. The method's cfg argument contains a type attribute. Assigning "rect"
or Y.Rect to this attribute will create a Rect instance. Required attributes for instantiating a Rect are type,
width and height. Optional attributes include:
<ul>
<li><a href="#attr_fill">fill</a></li>
<li><a href="#attr_id">id</a></li>
<li><a href="#attr_stroke">stroke</a></li>
<li><a href="#attr_transform">transform</a></li>
<li><a href="#attr_transformOrigin">transformOrigin</a></li>
<li><a href="#attr_visible">visible</a></li>
<li><a href="#attr_x">x</a></li>
<li><a href="#attr_y">y</a></li>
</ul>
The below code creates a rectangle by defining the type attribute as "rect":</p>
var myRect = myGraphic.addShape({
type: "rect",
width: 20,
height: 10,
fill: {
color: "#9aa"
},
stroke: {
weight: 1,
color: "#000"
}
});
Below, the same rectangle is created by defining the type attribute with a class reference:
var myRect = myGraphic.addShape({
type: Y.Rect,
width: 20,
height: 10,
fill: {
color: "#9aa"
},
stroke: {
weight: 1,
color: "#000"
}
});
<p>Rect has the following implementations based on browser capability.
<ul>
<li><a href="SVGRect.html">SVGRect</a></li>
<li><a href="VMLRect.html">VMLRect</a></li>
<li><a href="CanvasRect.html">CanvasRect</a></li>
</ul>
It is not necessary to interact with these classes directly. Rect will point to the appropriate implemention.</p>

Attributes
data
String
<p>Represents an SVG Path string. This will be parsed and added to shape's API to represent the SVG data across all implementations. Note that when using VML or SVG implementations, part of this content will be added to the DOM using respective VML/SVG attributes. If your content comes from an untrusted source, you will need to ensure that no malicious code is included in that content.</p>

The default value is 1.</dd> <dt>type</dt><dd>Type of fill. <dl> <dt>solid</dt><dd>Solid single color fill. (default)</dd> <dt>linear</dt><dd>Linear gradient fill.</dd> <dt>radial</dt><dd>Radial gradient fill.</dd> </dl> </dd> </dl> <p>If a <code>linear</code> or <code>radial</code> is specified as the fill type.

The shape class also contains corresponding methods for each transform that will apply the transform to the current matrix. The below code illustrates how you might use the <code>transform</code> attribute to instantiate a recangle with a rotation of 45 degrees.</p> var myRect = new Y.Rect({ type:"rect", width: 50, height: 40, transform: "rotate(45)" }; <p>The code below would apply <code>translate</code> and <code>rotate</code> to an existing shape.</p></p> <pre><code> myRect.set("transform", "translate(40, 50) rotate(45)");</code></pre>
