## Methods

### new

> +new

Returns a new rectangle with origin and corner at (0,0).

### origin:corner:

> +origin:p corner:q

Returns a new rectangle with origin and corner set to p and q.

### origin:extent:

> +origin:p extent:q

### origin::corner::

> +origin:(int)x1:(int)y1 corner:(int)x2:(int)y2

### origin::extent::

> +origin:(int)x:(int)y extent:(int)w:(int)h

### free

> -free

Frees the origin and corner of the Point too.

### origin:

> -origin:p

### corner:

> -corner:q

### origin:corner:

> -origin:p corner:q

Sets origin and corner to p and q.

### extent::

> -extent:(int)w:(int)h

### extent:

> -extent:q

### origin::

> -origin:(int)x1:(int)y1

### corner::

> -corner:(int)x1:(int)y1

### contains:

> - (BOOL)contains:aPoint

Yes if inside, or on a border of, the rectangle.

### hash

> - (unsigned)hash

### isEqual:

> - (BOOL)isEqual:aRectangle

Returns YES if aRectangle is some kind of rectangle, and if corner and origin are equal.

### left

> - (int)left

### right

> - (int)right

### top

> - (int)top

### bottom

> - (int)bottom

### width

> - (int)width

### height

> - (int)height

### origin

> -origin

### topLeft

> -topLeft

Same as origin.

### topRight

> -topRight

Answer the point at the top right corner of the receiver's top horizontal.

### topCenter

> -topCenter

Answer the point at the center of the receiver's top horizontal.

### corner

> -corner

### bottomLeft

> -bottomLeft

Returns the point at the left edge of the bottom horizontal line of the receiver(or bottomLeft for short).

### bottomCenter

> -bottomCenter

Answer the point at the center of the receiver's bottom horizontal.

### bottomRight

> -bottomRight

Same as corner.

### center

> -center

Return the point at the center of the receiver.

### leftCenter

> -leftCenter

Return the point at the center of the receiver's left vertical line.

### rightCenter

> -rightCenter

Return the point at the center of the receiver's left vertical line.

### extent

> -extent

Return a new Point, set to the width and height of the rectangle.

### quickMerge:

> -quickMerge:rect

Return the receiver if it encloses the given rectangle or the merge of the two rectangles if it doesn't. This method is an optimization to reduce extra rectangle creations.

### moveBy:

> -moveBy:aPoint

### translateBy:

> -translateBy:p

This method is like moveBy:, but returns a new rectangle instead of modifying the receiver.

### align:with:

> -align:p1 with:p2

Answer a rectangle that is translated by p2 - p1.

### printOn:

> -printOn:(IOD)aFile
