Reason I was (sarcastically) asking about how was because Larry implied 
it could be done easily using "drawrectangle", as opposed to calculating 
the corners yourself and using polygon.

And ofcourse - just drawing thick lines isn't enough to do thick lined 
polygons, you also have to deal with joining them.
