# QML Basic Type: rect

The `rect` type refers to a value with `x`, `y`, `width` and `height` attributes.

For example, to read the `width` and `height` values of the Item childrenRect rect-type type property:

    Rectangle {
        width: childrenRect.width
        height: childrenRect.height

        Rectangle { width: 100; height: 100 }
    }

To create a `rect` value, specify it as a "x, y, width x height" string:

    CustomObject { myRectProperty: "50,50,100x100" }

Or use the Qt.rect() function:

    CustomObject { myRectProperty: Qt.rect(50, 50, 100, 100) }

When integrating with C++, note that any QRect or QRectF value passed into QML from C++ is automatically converted into a `rect` value, and vice-versa. When a `rect` value is passed to C++, it is automatically converted into a QRectF value.
