A RectangleElement is a type of FillShapeElement that supports polygons. Use this object when you want to create and manipulate rectangle graphics on the map.
Geometry: RectangleElement accepts geometry of type esriGeometryEnvelope or esriGeometryPolygon. If an envelope is passed it, it is converted to a Polygon internally. Since this element type is used to represent an rectangle, the geometry typically consists of a rectangular polygon created form an envelope.
