public class PdfRectangle
extends PdfArray

PdfRectangle is the PDF Rectangle object.

Rectangles are used to describe locations on the page and bounding boxes for several objects in PDF, such as fonts. A rectangle is represented as an array of four numbers, specifying the lower left x, lower left y, upper right x, and upper right y coordinates of the rectangle, in that order.
This object is described in the 'Portable Document Format Reference Manual version 1.3' section 7.1 (page 183).
