See Javadoc

Quad defines a two dimensional four sided shape. By default the z width is always 0, where X corresponds to the width and Y corresponds to the height.

Quad q = new Quad("quad", 800, 600);
rootNode.attachChild(q);

• Quad can be useful for UI type elements. If the Quad is placed in the ORTHO RenderQueue the width and height will be pixel sizes. Translating along the X and Y (NOT Z) will position the quad on the screen.
