Please check and review?
Nice.
You like? (Phew, I am relieved..)

Added screenshots with all brush and pen styles, I think this way these identifiers are clearer than just listing them.
As I would have said in my much younger days 'That is wicked!'. ( very slick. I love that. )

All this work done on the Rectangle page has resulted in a page which is teaching material, rather than just documentation.

Exactly the right thing to do with a wiki. And done well. Congratulations.

Thank you, @GordonFindlay, for your kind words. This was a team effort, with contributions from many people both on and off the forum. When I first began working with Lazarus, I found the documentation challenging to understand because I had no prior experience with Pascal. Although I had dabbled in Borland Turbo Pascal, our management decided to switch to Clipper at the time, so that was the end of that.

What I would have appreciated back then was a resource that explained concepts in very simple terms, possibly with a few usage examples to illustrate how to call procedures or functions effectively. And now we have one that hopefully does exactly that.

Yeah, me too. I think its an excellent page. About the right size, about the right detail, thats not to say more could not be added but its good as it is.

And a good reference page for anyone about to embark on a wiki journey !

I hope you will be writing a few more please !
