Hello...

I'm using Draw.Line() and trying to manage my dirty rects properly.
Line() in sopposed to return the "bouding rectangle of the effected area."
However, it's not doing what I expect:

An example line (x1, y1, x2, y2) is:

    [316.9968184989844, 238.00478049529437] [323.00477415393209,
242.99521823643315]

The return value from line is:

    <rect(0, 0, 324, 243)>

It looks like Line is drawing (x,y,x,y) as documented but the line rect code
is not treating it as such.
I would expect something (ignoring the particular float->int issues) like:

    <rect(317, 238, 6, 5>

E.g., returning (top, left, width, height).
This way I can keep a union as I draw and add it to my dirty rects for
Update().

Am I misunderstanding something?

Also, it would be nice if Rect operations (such as union) were in-place
(destructive) operations rather than creating new objs -- it's easy enough
to copy them, but in this case (keeping a running Union) it would be more
efficient.

thanks,
mike
