Dimension JDK 1.6)

Description

public class Dimension

The Dimension class encapsulates the width and height of a component (in integer precision) in a single object.

The Dimension class encapsulates the width and height of a component (in integer precision) in a single object. The class is associated with certain properties of components. Several methods defined by the Component class and the LayoutManager interface return a Dimension object.

Normally the values of width and height are non-negative integers. The constructors that allow you to create a dimension do not prevent you from setting a negative value for these properties. If the value of width or height is negative, the behavior of some methods defined by other objects is undefined.

Methods

Hide/Show inherited methods

public Object clone () [Inherited From Dimension2D]

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

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Checks whether two dimension objects have equal values.

public double getHeight () [Specified in Dimension2D]

Returns the height of this Dimension in double precision.

Returns the height of this Dimension in double
precision.
Since: 1.2

public Dimension getSize ()

Gets the size of this Dimension object.

Gets the size of this Dimension object.
This method is included for completeness, to parallel the
getSize method defined by Component.
Returns: the size of this dimension, a new instance of Dimension with the same width and height
Since: 1.1
See Also: Dimension.setSize(double, double), Component.getSize(),

public double getWidth () [Specified in Dimension2D]

Returns the width of this Dimension in double precision.

Returns the width of this Dimension in double
precision.
Since: 1.2

public int hashCode ()

Returns the hash code for this Dimension.

Returns the hash code for this Dimension.
Returns: a hash code for this Dimension

public void setSize (Dimension d)

Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified size.

Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified size.
This method is included for completeness, to parallel the
setSize method defined by Component.
Parameters:
- d - the new size for this Dimension object
Since: 1.1
See Also: Dimension.getSize(), Component.setSize(int, int),

public void setSize (Dimension2D d) [Inherited From Dimension2D]

Sets the size of this Dimension2D object to match the specified size.

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
Since: 1.2

public void setSize (double width, double height) [Specified in Dimension2D]

Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified width and height in double precision.

Sets the size of this Dimension object to
the specified width and height in double precision.
Note that if width or height
are larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE, they will
be reset to Integer.MAX_VALUE.
Parameters:
- width - the new width for the Dimension object
- height - the new height for the Dimension object
Since: 1.2

public void setSize (int width, int height)

Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified width and height.

Sets the size of this Dimension object
to the specified width and height.
This method is included for completeness, to parallel the
setSize method defined by Component.
Parameters:
- width - the new width for this Dimension object
- height - the new height for this Dimension object
Since: 1.1
See Also: Dimension.getSize(), Component.setSize(int, int),

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the values of this Dimension object's height and width fields.

Returns a string representation of the values of this
Dimension object's height and
width fields. This method is intended to be used only
for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned
string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be
empty but may not be null.
Returns: a string representation of this Dimension object
