ah!... now i see ... so [rectangle 1 1] is equivalent to

     glBegin(GL_QUADS)
     glVertex3f(-1.0, 1.0, 0.0)
     glVertex3f(1.0, 1.0, 0.0)
     glVertex3f(1.0, -1.0, 0.0)
     glVertex3f(-1.0, -1.0, 0.0)
     glEnd()

so the final width and height is actually 2 units ... this is a bit 
confusing in the documentation help patch, i mean i know some opengl but 
still when i read width height words i thought about the width and 
height of a rectangle in normal geometry and not opengl postion of the 
vertex location from the current position.

but i think all is clear now.

many thanks for the help !!!
