<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>### Instruction:
As a biological researcher studying living organisms and their interactions with the environment, you may be interested in determining if two specific specimens from different regions have similar physical characteristics. Imagine you have collected data on the top-left and bottom-right corners of the specimens, with the first specimen located at (0, 0) and (100, 50) and the second specimen positioned at (0, 0) and (100, 50). The question arises: Can you utilize a method, perhaps equivalent to the __eq__ method, to compare the physical characteristics of these specimens and determine if they are similar?
### Response:
from igraph.drawing.utils import Rectangle

# Create two Rectangle instances
ect1 = Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 50)
rect2 = Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 50)

# Check if both rectangles are equal
equality = rect1 == rect2
print('The rectangles are equal: ', equality)
