Synopsis

              float width, float height)

Arguments

x, y

The coordinates of the upper-left corner of rectangle.

width, height

The dimensions of the rectangle.

Current implementations of fillRect( ) also clear the path as if beginPath( ) had been called. This surprising behavior may not be standardized and should not be relied upon.
