draw a rectangle opencv code example

Example 1: python opencv draw rectangle

image = cv2.imread(path) 

start_point = (5, 5) 
end_point = (220, 220) 
  
# Blue color in BGR 
color = (255, 0, 0) 
  
# Line thickness of 2 px 
thickness = 2
  
# Using cv2.rectangle() method 
# Draw a rectangle with blue line borders of thickness of 2 px 
image = cv2.rectangle(image, start_point, end_point, color, thickness)

Example 2: draw rectangle opencv c++

// just some valid rectangle arguments
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
int width = 10;
int height = 20;
// our rectangle...
cv::Rect rect(x, y, width, height);
// and its top left corner...
cv::Point pt1(x, y);
// and its bottom right corner.
cv::Point pt2(x + width, y + height);
// These two calls...
cv::rectangle(img, pt1, pt2, cv::Scalar(0, 255, 0));
// essentially do the same thing
cv::rectangle(img, rect, cv::Scalar(0, 255, 0))
