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.

Constructor Summary

protected

Dimension2D () This is an abstract class that cannot be instantiated directly.

Method Summary

Object	clone () Creates a new object of the same class as this object.
abstract double	getHeight () Returns the height of this Dimension in double precision.
abstract double	getWidth () Returns the width of this Dimension in double precision.
void	setSize (Dimension2D d) Sets the size of this Dimension2D object to match the specified size.
abstract void	setSize (double width, double height) Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified width and height.

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.
