The documentation for V 3.0 says
Rectangle[{xmin,ymin},{xmax,ymax},graphics] will produce a rectangle
filled with the specified graphics. It also says `graphics` can be any
graphics object.
I don't completely understand how this is supposed to work. Can anyone
explain? I provide the following examples to kick off the discussion.
In[1]:=
lin=Graphics[{Line[{{0,0},{1/3,1/100}}]}];
Show[Graphics[{Rectangle[{2,2},{3,3},lin]}],
PlotRange->{{1,4},{1,4}},
AspectRatio->Automatic,
Axes->True
];
(* Graphic not shown *)
In[2]:=
pnt=Graphics[{PointSize[1],Point[{1,8}]}];
Show[Graphics[{Rectangle[{2,2},{3,3},pnt]}],
PlotRange->{{1,4},{1,4}},
AspectRatio->Automatic,
Axes->True
];
(* Graphic not shown *)
Cheers,
