10A small program used to draw rectangles on X11. The idea came when I needed
11something to indicate screen recordings for a small script using ffmpeg. I used
12xrectsel for selecting the region for ffmpeg to capture, so I kinda got the
13inspiration from there.
14
15xrectdraw actually draws four windows making up the borders of the rectangle.
16This means no compositor is needed, the root window isn't hogged and the region
17is not overlaid.

23Edit config.mk to match your local setup (xrectdraw is installed into the
24.I /usr/local
25namespace by default), then simply enter the following command to install (if
26necessary as root):

38xrectdraw can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the
39source code.

42Usage

44
45Together with the source code is a script called
46.ICD screenrec.sh
47which is a fine example of how xrectdraw can be used. The program is used like
48this:

56The example above draws a rectangle, 100px wide, 200px heigh at the position
57(x:10px, y:20px). The borders are red, the top and bottom are 3px wide and the
58right and left are 2pc wide.
