Dimension2D

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.

Fields Summary
Constructors Summary
protected Dimension2D()
This is an abstract class that cannot be instantiated directly. Type-specific implementation subclasses are available for instantiation and provide a number of formats for storing the information necessary to satisfy the various accessor methods below.

see
java.awt.Dimension
Methods Summary
public java.lang.Objectclone()
Creates a new object of the same class as this object.

return
a clone of this instance.
exception
OutOfMemoryError if there is not enough memory.
see
java.lang.Cloneable
since
1.2

	try {
	    return super.clone();
	} catch (CloneNotSupportedException e) {
	    // this shouldn't happen, since we are Cloneable
	    throw new InternalError();
	}
public abstract doublegetHeight()
Returns the height of this Dimension in double precision.

return
the height of this Dimension.

public abstract doublegetWidth()
Returns the width of this Dimension in double
precision.
return
the width of this Dimension.
public abstract voidsetSize(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
{@link java.awt.Component#getSize getSize} method of
{@link java.awt.Component}.
param
width the new width for the Dimension
object
param
height the new height for the Dimension
object
public voidsetSize(java.awt.geom.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.
param
d the new size for the Dimension2D
object
	setSize(d.getWidth(), d.getHeight());
