# Rect Object

> The rect object in Vantage OCR JSON output defines an axis-aligned rectangle by the pixel coordinates of its left, top, right, and bottom edges.

A **rect** object describes a rectangle defined using coordinates of four lines that form its left, top, right, and bottom borders. Borders of a rectangle are always parallel to the edges of the page. The coordinates are specified in pixels.

Coordinates are measured from the top-left corner of the page: the X axis increases to the right and the Y axis increases downward. Because of this, the left coordinate (`l`) is never greater than the right (`r`), and the top (`t`) is never greater than the bottom (`b`). Compute the rectangle's width as `r - l` and its height as `b - t`.

| Property | Data type | Description                                             |
| :------- | :-------- | :------------------------------------------------------ |
| `l` \*   | `integer` | The X coordinate of the left border of the rectangle.   |
| `t` \*   | `integer` | The Y coordinate of the top border of the rectangle.    |
| `r` \*   | `integer` | The X coordinate of the right border of the rectangle.  |
| `b` \*   | `integer` | The Y coordinate of the bottom border of the rectangle. |

\* Indicates a required property.

## Example

A block positioned 120 px from the left edge and 96 px from the top, 420 px wide and 62 px tall:

```json theme={null}
{
  "l": 120,
  "t": 96,
  "r": 540,
  "b": 158
}
```

<Note>
  Pixel coordinates are relative to the page image. If the document is exported to JSON only, they refer to the original image; if it is also exported to an image format, they refer to the preprocessed image. See [Pages array elements](/vantage/developer/output/json/ocr/pages-array-elements).
