Hey @sankalparora5, here you go :

Syntax: cv2.rectangle(image, start_point, end_point, color, thickness)

Parameters:

image: It is the image on which rectangle is to be drawn.

start_point: It is the starting coordinates of rectangle. The coordinates are represented as tuples of two values i.e. (X coordinate value, Y coordinate value).

end_point: It is the ending coordinates of rectangle. The coordinates are represented as tuples of two values i.e. (X coordinate value, Y coordinate value).

color: It is the color of border line of rectangle to be drawn. For BGR, we pass a tuple. eg: (255, 0, 0) for blue color.

thickness: It is the thickness of the rectangle border line in px. Thickness of -1 px will fill the rectangle shape by the specified color.

So 2 here specifies the thickness of the border line that you draw.

Hope this clears your doubt.
Happy coding :slight_smile:
