This function adds a rectangle element to a GDSII file stream. This is just a convenient function to create a polygon for the case of a rectangle. Other element type for rectangle (such as, box) is not supported at this moment. Polygons can only be added in a GDSII cell, so this command can be called only if a cell has been created.
