# georectangle QML Value Type

The georectangle type represents a rectangular geographic area. More...

Import Statement: | import QtPositioning 6.6

## Detailed Description

The `georectangle` type is a geoshape that represents a rectangular geographic area. The type is direct representation of a QGeoRectangle. It is defined by a pair of coordinates which represent the top-left and bottom-right corners of the `georectangle`. The coordinates are accessible from the topLeft and bottomRight attributes.

A `georectangle` is considered invalid if the top-left or bottom-right coordinates are invalid or if the top-left coordinate is south of the bottom-right coordinate.

The coordinates of the four corners of the `georectangle` can be accessed with the topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft and bottomRight attributes. The center attribute can be used to get the coordinate of the center of the `georectangle`. The width and height attributes can be used to get the width and height of the `georectangle` in degrees. Setting one of these attributes will cause the other attributes to be adjusted accordingly.

## Limitations

A `georectangle` can never cross the poles.

If the height or center of a `georectangle` is adjusted such that it would cross one of the poles the height is modified such that the `georectangle` touches but does not cross the pole and that the center coordinate is still in the center of the `georectangle`.

## Example Usage

Use properties of type var to store a `georectangle`. To create a `georectangle` value, use the QtPositioning.rectangle() function:

     import QtPositioning

     Item {
         property var region: QtPositioning.rectangle(QtPositioning.coordinate(-27.5, 153.1), QtPositioning.coordinate(-27.6, 153.2))
     }

When integrating with C++, note that any QGeoRectangle value passed into QML from C++ is automatically converted into a `georectangle` value, and vice-versa.

## Properties

### bottomLeft

     coordinate bottomLeft

This property holds the bottom left coordinate of this georectangle.

### bottomRight

     coordinate bottomRight

This property holds the bottom right coordinate of this georectangle.

### center

     coordinate center

This property holds the center coordinate of this georectangle. For more details see QGeoRectangle::setCenter().

### height

     double height

This property holds the height of this georectangle (in degrees). For more details see QGeoRectangle::setHeight().

Note: If the georectangle is invalid, it is not possible to set the height. QtPositioning releases prior to Qt 5.5 permitted the setting of the height even on invalid georectangles.

### topLeft

     coordinate topLeft

This property holds the top left coordinate of this georectangle.

### topRight

     coordinate topRight

This property holds the top right coordinate of this georectangle.

### width

     double width

This property holds the width of this georectangle (in degrees). For more details see QGeoRectangle::setWidth().

Note: If the georectangle is invalid, it is not possible to set the width. QtPositioning releases prior to Qt 5.5 permitted the setting of the width even on invalid georectangles.
