A DOMRect represents a rectangle.
The type of box represented by the DOMRect is specified by the method or property that returned it. For example, VREyeParameters.renderRect from the WebVR API specifies the viewport of a canvas into which visuals for one eye of a head mounted display should be rendered.
It inherits from its parent, DOMRectReadOnly.

Constructor
DOMRect()- Creates a new
DOMRectobject.
Properties

DOMRectReadOnly.x- The x coordinate of the
DOMRect's origin. DOMRectReadOnly.y- The y coordinate of the
DOMRect's origin. DOMRectReadOnly.width- The width of the
DOMRect. DOMRectReadOnly.height- The height of the
DOMRect. DOMRectReadOnly.top- Returns the top coordinate value of the
DOMRect(has the same value asy, ory + heightifheightis negative.) DOMRectReadOnly.right- Returns the right coordinate value of the
DOMRect(has the same value asx + width, orxifwidthis negative.) DOMRectReadOnly.bottom- Returns the bottom coordinate value of the
DOMRect(has the same value asy + height, oryifheightis negative.) DOMRectReadOnly.left- Returns the left coordinate value of the
DOMRect(has the same value asx, orx + widthifwidthis negative.)
Methods
DOMRect inherits methods from its parent, DOMRectReadOnly.
