I'm embarrassed to ask this but...

I want to plot a rectangle on an (x,y) map. 

It's just a simple rectangular outline. Not an image, or an
x->y function, or a colour shaded terrain map or anything
clever.

I need to be able to specify its size and rotation from
vertical but that's it.

It seems to be an incredibly simple task and I'm sure there
must be a simple way to do it but looking through the
tutorials and documentation I just can't find one.

Would be indebted if someone can show me the 2 line solution.

Andrew
