I've never used the module, but here's what the documentation says about
rects:

Rect

  A rectangle, featuring the following fields

    short   top
    short   left
    short   bottom
    short   right
    Point   topLeft
    Point   botRight

  new Rect [LEFT [, TOP [, RIGHT [, BOTTOM]]]]      
  new Rect TOPLEFT [,BOTRIGHT]     

    Create a new rectangle from either coordinates or points.

So, you probably want to declare a new Rect, and then use it as the second
argument to DrawPicture().
