Two-Point Rectangle

Two options are available when you expand the New Rectangle tool menu on the String Editor toolbar (Strings | Edit | New Rectangle | Two-Point Rectangle).

Click the New Two-point Rectangle button to create a screen-axis-aligned rectangle, either by clicking two corner points, or by clicking and dragging the mouse to define the rectangle.

When you have digitised the position of the two points, the Rectangle Properties form is displayed:

First and Second Points

If necessary, adjust the coordinates of the points that define the position and extent of the rectangle.
