[Marble-devel] Re: Draw a lon/lat rectangle

[Torsten Rahn]

If it's just about drawing the rectangle alone (but not the image) then you 
can just use

void GeoPainter::drawRect ( const GeoDataCoordinates & centerPosition,
                    qreal width, qreal height,
                    bool isGeoProjected = false )

and do it just like in the test render plugin (located in 
marble/src/plugins/render/test):

    GeoDataCoordinates rectCenter( -45.0, 20.0, 0.0, 
GeoDataCoordinates::Degree );
    painter->drawRect( rectCenter, 20.0, 20.0, true ); 

Note that the "true" is needed in order to let the rectangle follow the 
ground! ! !

Best Regards,
Torsten
