No, there is no general (rational) rule.  The Windows Rectangle function is 
weird though. If you specify (left, top, right, bottom), it draws lines 
from [left,top] -> [right+1,top] -> [right+1,bottom+1] -> [left, bottom+1] -

Why they didn't make the parameters (left, top, width, height) is beyond my 
understanding.
