Welcome, @Sander

How about if you switch the mode, draw a rectangle, then switch back?

```auto
rectMode(CENTER);
rect(...);
rectMode(CORNER);
rect(...);

```

In case you have a bunch of **rect()** commands it’s worth using **pushStyle()** before **rectMode()**; and then once finished call **popStyle()** to get **rectMode()** (or other used styles) back to its previous style:
