# init(xStart:xEnd:yStart:yEnd:)

Creates a rectangle mark with an x interval encoding and a fixed y interval.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated init<X>(xStart: PlottableValue<X>, xEnd: PlottableValue<X>, yStart: CGFloat? = nil, yEnd: CGFloat? = nil) where X : Plottable
```

## Discussion

Discussion xStart: The value plotted with x start. xEnd: The value plotted with x end. yStart: The y end position. If yStart is nil then the rectangle will start at the leading edge of the plotting area. yEnd: The y end position. If yEnd is nil then the rectangle will end at the trailing edge of the plotting area. Discussion Use this initializer to map the x start and x end to a rectangle for each data element. Optionally, specify the yStart or yEnd position of the rectangles. The example below omits the optional y and height fields and uses a number scale starting at (0,0) and ending at (6,6). The rectangle has the coordinates: (2,0), (2,6), (4,6), (4,0). Chart(data) {     RectangleMark(         xStart: .value("Rect xStart", 2),         xEnd: .value("Rect xEnd", 4)     )     .opacity(0.2)

PointMark(         x: .value("X", $0.x),         y: .value("Y", $0.y)     ) }
