If I want to draw a path onto an as yet unknown one of say 50 drawn rectangles, I have to specify the specific rectangle as opposed to, 'relative' to the chosen one. Is there a way around the problem of not therefore being able to store a path once and then simply apply it to a chosen rectangle? At present it 'appears' to me that as the rectangle is chosen I 'then' initialize the path and draw it, which means a lot of repeated initializing to different places to draw the same path.
