When grips are shown, user can resize the rectangle by dragging them. When grips are hidden, user can resize the rectangle by dragging any point of the rectangle border.
 
Number of the grips depends on the rubberband [resizeMode](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_J_GraphicsMill_RectangleRubberband_resizeMode.htm.md):
 
- When the arbitrary resize is enabled ([resizeMode](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_J_GraphicsMill_RectangleRubberband_resizeMode.htm.md) = [arbitrary](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_J_GraphicsMill_ResizeMode.htm.md)), eight grips are displayed: four for each rectangle corner, and four for each rectangle edge (in the center at the edge).
- When the resize with only fixed proportions is enabled ([resizeMode](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_J_GraphicsMill_RectangleRubberband_resizeMode.htm.md) = [proportional](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_J_GraphicsMill_ResizeMode.htm.md)), there are four grips for each rectangle corner is available.
- When the resize is disabled ([resizeMode](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_J_GraphicsMill_RectangleRubberband_resizeMode.htm.md) = [none](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_J_GraphicsMill_ResizeMode.htm.md)), no grips are displayed regardless of the gripsVisible value.
