But that's just me and up for discussion. :-) Need to think more about the problem, but naturally, I would prefer to have everything explicit, which means, Jack's solution of naming out all properties used for defining the rectangle. The single parameter with with a comma separated values list has the major disadvantage of embedding implicit semantics, i.e., you _have to_ know for each values to what they correspond. My 2c.
