Shapestype: "rect"

A filled rectangle with borders, rounding, opacity and shadows — the building block for cards, panels, badges and backgrounds.

Rectangle examples

Real renders of the rectangle — each one is the same component with different property values, and the API payload below each preview reproduces it exactly.

Deploy-succeeded toast panel

A green rounded panel serving as the backdrop of a "Deploy succeeded" notification card.

API overrides for this example
{
  "panel.fillColor": "#10B981",
  "panel.borderRadius": 12,
  "panel.boxShadow": "0 8px 20px rgba(16,185,129,0.35)"
}

Dark hero backdrop

A near-full-canvas navy panel laid behind an imagined OG-image headline and logo.

API overrides for this example
{
  "panel.fillColor": "#0F172A",
  "panel.borderRadius": 24
}

All rectangle styles

Every style rendered live — each is just a different set of property values on the same component, and each has its own page with a dedicated preview, use cases and API example.

Use cases

What developers typically build with the rectangle component.

  • Card backdrops behind dynamic text and photos
  • Status badges recolored by state per render
  • Section panels for OG image layouts

Use it dynamically via the API

Recolor per render with '<key>.fillColor' (or just '<key>'); opacity and borderColor are overridable too.

Full API request with the sample design's current values — the playground above sends only the properties you change
curl --location 'https://render.imejis.io/v1/{{YOUR_DESIGN_ID}}' \
--header 'dma-api-key: {{YOUR_API_KEY}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "panel.fillColor": "#4F46E5",
    "panel.borderRadius": 16,
    "panel.opacity": 1
}'

Only send the properties you want to change — everything else keeps its design value. See the API documentation for all languages.

Property reference

Every property the rectangle component accepts — in the editor, in design JSON, and as API overrides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — '<key>.fillColor' (or just the key) recolors the rectangle per render; opacity and border properties are overridable too.

borderRadius rounds the corners — push it high for a fully-rounded pill — and borders and box shadows finish the card look.

It is the layout building block: cards, panels, badges, overlays and backgrounds layered behind text, images and charts.
