// <etymology>
// MWCRectTool stands for MultiWorldCanvas Rectangle Tool
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// This class adds to its base WCTool to provide a tool for drawing,
// resizing and moving rectangles on a WorldCanvas.  While MWCRectTool
// is not abstract, it performs no useful function.  The programmer
// should derive from this class, and implement the functions
// doubleInside and doubleOutside, which are called when the user
// double-clicks the key or mouse button inside or outside an existing
// rectangle respectively.  It is up to the programmer to decide what
// double clicks inside and outside the rectangle correspond to,
// although it is recommended that a double click inside correspond to
// the main action of the tool, and a double click outside correspond
// to a secondary action of the tool, if indeed a secondary action
// exists.
//
// The rectangle is drawn by dragging the mouse from one corner to
// the diagonally opposite corner.  Once constructed, the rectangle
// can be resized by dragging its corners, or relocated by dragging
// inside the rectangle.  The rectangle is removed from the display
// when the Esc key is pressed.
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// Many activities on the WorldCanvas will be based on the user drawing
// a rectangle, and then proceeding to some action with that rectangle.
// A nice example is zooming.
// </motivation>
