Draw a number of rectangles from list of coordinates [closed]

Question

I'm new to Mathematica and this is also my first post here. Now for the question:

I try to let Mathematica draw a number of rectangles from lists of coordinates. Unfortunately it only works when I assign values to variables directly (for example: a=3) but not with lists.

Mathematica tells me that the coordinates have to be pairs of numbers (what they are, as far as I understand, because they are in the format {x,y}).

I imagine something like this:

min = {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {2, 3}}
Graphics[{EdgeForm[{Thin, Blue}], White,Table[Rectangle[min, {5,5}]]}]

Which I hope should draw three rectangles with different starting points and the same endpoint. This is just chosen as a simple example, later start- and endpoint shall be given via lists.

I've tried few different approaches:

1. A list with coordinates ("min" mentioned earlier) --> error message (see above)

2. Two lists to split x- and y-coordinate --> error message (see above)

3. Using functions to calculate the coordinates (just as a test), which looks like this:

Graphics[{EdgeForm[{Thin, Blue}], White, 
  Table[Rectangle[{a + 1, a + 2}, {5, 5}], {a, 2}]}] --> works

4. Using a list for iteration, basically I've changed the {a,2} above to {a,minc} with minc beeing minc={{1},{2}} --> error message (see above)

5. Using a list for iteration but try to pick it's elements, leading to {a,Part[minc]} --> error message (see above)

6. Assigned coordiantes to variables directly and used this variables (for example: a=1, b=2, Rectangle[{a,b},{5,5}]) --> works

So, how do I manage to read in coordinates from lists for this application?

Answer 1

Very simple error. You must give a second argument to Table which gives the interation specifications.

min = {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {2, 3}};
Graphics[{EdgeForm[{Thin, Blue}], White, Table[Rectangle[m, {5, 5}], {m, min}]}]
