Here's an example code that draws a rectangle around an object when placed in its On Draw trigger. The last the parameters in the drawrectangle() command are the RGB color values (0-255). The values in the code below produce a golden-ish yellow similar to your picture.

fglDisable(GL_LIGHTING);
drawtomodelscale(current); double distFromEdge = 0.5; double width = 0.1; // Upper edge drawrectangle(-distFromEdge - width, distFromEdge + width, 0, current.size.x + 2*(distFromEdge + width), width, 0, 0, 0, 245, 220, 15); // Left edge drawrectangle(-distFromEdge, distFromEdge + width, 0, current.size.y + 2*(distFromEdge + width), width, 0, 0, -90, 245, 220, 15); // Lower edge drawrectangle(-distFromEdge - width, -current.size.y - distFromEdge, 0, current.size.x + 2*(distFromEdge + width), width, 0, 0, 0, 245, 220, 15); // Right edge drawrectangle(current.size.x + distFromEdge + width, distFromEdge + width, 0, current.size.y + 2*(distFromEdge + width), width, 0, 0, -90, 245, 220, 15); fglEnable(GL_LIGHTING);
