x1,  y1

Specify one vertex of a rectangle.

x2,  y2

Specify the opposite vertex of the rectangle.

void glRectdv( const GLdouble *v1,

	const GLdouble *v2 )

void glRectfv( const GLfloat *v1,

	const GLfloat *v2 )

void glRectiv( const GLint *v1,

	const GLint *v2 )

void glRectsv( const GLshort *v1,

v1

Specifies a pointer to one vertex of a rectangle.

v2

Specifies a pointer to the opposite vertex of the rectangle.

glRect supports efficient specification of rectangles as two corner points. Each  rectangle command takes four arguments, organized either as two consecutive pairs of (x,y) coordinates, or as two pointers to arrays, each containing an (x,y) pair. The resulting rectangle is defined in the z = 0 plane.

glRect(x1, y1, x2, y2) is exactly equivalent to the following sequence: glBegin(GL_POLYGON); glVertex2(x1, y1); glVertex2(x2, y1); glVertex2(x2, y2); glVertex2(x1, y2); glEnd(); Note that if the second vertex is above and to the right of the first vertex, the rectangle is constructed with a counterclockwise winding.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if glRect is executed between the execution of glBegin and the corresponding execution of glEnd.
