A rectangular area on a two-dimensional map projection.

Declaration

Overview

If you project the curved surface of the globe onto a flat surface, what you get is a two-dimensional version of a map where longitude lines appear to be parallel. Such maps are often used to show the entire surface of the globe all at once. An MKMapRect data structure represents a rectangular area as seen on this two-dimensional map.
