Rectangle

public class Rectangle extends Rectangle2D implements Shape, Serializable
A Rectangle specifies an area in a coordinate space that is enclosed by the Rectangle object's top-left point (xy) in the coordinate space, its width, and its height.

A Rectangle object's width and height are public fields. The constructors that create a Rectangle, and the methods that can modify one, do not prevent setting a negative value for width or height.

A Rectangle whose width or height is negative is considered empty. If the Rectangle is empty, then the isEmpty method returns true. No point can be contained by or inside an empty Rectangle. The values of width and height, however, are still valid. An empty Rectangle still has a location in the coordinate space, and methods that change its size or location remain valid. The behavior of methods that operate on more than one Rectangle is undefined if any of the participating Rectangle objects has a negative width or height. These methods include intersects, intersection, and union.

Methods Summary
public voidadd(int newx, int newy)
Adds a point, specified by the integer arguments newx and newy, to this Rectangle. The resulting Rectangle is the smallest Rectangle that contains both the original Rectangle and the specified point.

After adding a point, a call to contains with the added point as an argument does not necessarily return true. The contains method does not return true for points on the right or bottom edges of a Rectangle. Therefore, if the added point falls on the right or bottom edge of the enlarged Rectangle, contains returns false for that point.

param
newx the x coordinate of the new point
param
newy the y coordinate of the new point

	int x1 = Math.min(x, newx);
	int x2 = Math.max(x + width, newx);
	int y1 = Math.min(y, newy);
	int y2 = Math.max(y + height, newy);
	x = x1;
	y = y1;
	width = x2 - x1;
	height = y2 - y1;
    
public voidadd(java.awt.Point pt)
Adds the specified Point to this Rectangle. The resulting Rectangle is the smallest Rectangle that contains both the original Rectangle and the specified Point.

After adding a Point, a call to contains with the added Point as an argument does not necessarily return true. The contains method does not return true for points on the right or bottom edges of a Rectangle. Therefore if the added Point falls on the right or bottom edge of the enlarged Rectangle, contains returns false for that Point.

param
pt the new Point to add to this Rectangle

	add(pt.x, pt.y);
    
public voidadd(java.awt.Rectangle r)
Adds a Rectangle to this Rectangle. The resulting Rectangle is the union of the two rectangles.

param
r the specified Rectangle

	int x2 = Math.max(x + width, r.x + r.width);
	int y1 = Math.min(y, r.y);
