Eqrect

Eqrect is a term encountered in various niche fields to denote a rectangle that is subject to equality constraints. There is no universal definition; its meaning varies by domain, project, and language.

In geometry and computer graphics, eqrect is used informally to refer to a rectangle whose dimensions are tied by an equation—such as enforcing equal widths across components or maintaining a fixed aspect ratio for layout or rendering. It may refer to a rectangle data structure (often named EqRect) that stores x, y, width, height and provides methods to resize while preserving the constraints.

In software libraries, an EqRect or eqrect component may describe a UI element or utility that creates squares or scales rectangles without altering their aspect ratio. In optimization and computational geometry, eqrect constraints can specify equal diagonals, equal areas, or other symmetric properties, expressed as equations.

Because the term is not standardized, the exact interpretation should be inferred from context: the surrounding code, documentation, or mathematical formulation. See also: aspect ratio, rectangle, square, constraint, geometry, UI layout.

This article serves as a stub-style overview for readers encountering the term in specific projects. For precise definitions, readers should consult the relevant domain’s sources or project documentation to clarify how eqrect is defined in that context.
