Can you draw on an image with TikZ?

When to use the to command in TikZ?
The syntax is the same as for the rectangle, we only use a different command in between the coordinates. The to command is used to specify a point of the path. Tikz usually draws straight lines between the points, in the picture below we can clearly see the lines are bent.
How are rectangles created in TikZ overleaf?
Rectangles are created by the special command rectangle. You have to provide two points, the first one is where the “pencil” begins the draw and the second one is the diagonally opposite corner point. To draw a polygon we draw a closed path of straight lines: a line from (4,0) to (6,0) and a line from (6,0) to (5.7,2).
