What is the best way to draw an (xy-axis-aligned) rectangle with this?

And what is the word for xy-axis-aligned rectangle? :)

If you're referring to a bounding box, it's called AABB (axis aligned bounding box). So I guess AA rectangle would be ok.

I’ve heard people (mainly German software developers) use “paraxial rectangle” for this.

Yes, but in this case it is not clear where the axes run.
