[OpenLayers-Users] Rectangle (box-like) drawing tool?

[Schuyler Erle]

With all due respect, Frédéric, I would still consider using the Box
handler. If you look at how the Box handler works, it makes use of the
Drag handler, which itself deals with some of the more fiddly
cross-browser aspects of doing dragging across the map. I think it makes
for a somewhat more maintainable solution, in the long run.
