Class Dimension2D

java.lang.Object
  java.awt.geom.Dimension2D

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

Dimension

public abstract class Dimension2D

extends Object

implements Cloneable

The Dimension2D class is to encapsulate a width and a height dimension.

This class is only the abstract superclass for all objects that store a 2D dimension. The actual storage representation of the sizes is left to the subclass.

Method Detail

getWidth

public abstract double getWidth()

Returns the width of this Dimension in double precision.

Returns:

the width of this Dimension.

getHeight

public abstract double getHeight()

Returns the height of this Dimension in double precision.

Returns:

the height of this Dimension.

setSize

public abstract void setSize(double width,
                             double height)

Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified width and height. This method is included for completeness, to parallel the getSize method of Component.

Parameters:

width - the new width for the Dimension object

height - the new height for the Dimension object

setSize

public void setSize(Dimension2D d)

Sets the size of this Dimension2D object to match the specified size. This method is included for completeness, to parallel the getSize method of Component.

Parameters:

d - the new size for the Dimension2D object

clone

public Object clone()

Creates a new object of the same class as this object.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

a clone of this instance.

Throws:

OutOfMemoryError - if there is not enough memory.

Since:

1.2
