Class java.awt.Rectangle
java.lang.Object
|
+----java.awt.Rectangle
- public class Rectangle
- extends Object
- implements Shape, Serializable
A rectangle specifies an area in a coordinate space that is
defined by the rectangle's top-left point (x, y)
in the coordinate space, its width, and its height.
A rectangle's width
and height
are
public fields. The constructors that allow you to create a
rectangle, and the methods that allow you to modify one, do not
prevent you from setting a negative value for width or height.
A rectangle whose width or height is negative is considered
empty, and all methods defined by the Rectangle
class
behave accordingly. If the rectangle is empty, then the method
isEmpty
returns true
. No point can be
contained by or inside an empty rectangle, however the values of
width
and height
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 rectangles has a negative
width
or height
. These methods include
intersects
, intersection
, and
union
.

- the largest rectangle contained in both the
specified rectangle and in this rectangle.

public Rectangle union(Rectangle r)
- Computes the union of this rectangle with the

add
public void add(int newx,

- 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 will 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 left or bottom edge of the enlarged rectangle,
contains
will return false
for that point.
- Parameters:
- newx - the x coordinate of the new point.
- newy - the y coordinate of the new point.
add
public void add(Point pt)
- Adds the point
pt
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 will 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 left or bottom edge of the enlarged rectangle,
contains
will return false
for that point.
- Parameters:
- pt - the new point to add to the rectangle.
add
public void add(Rectangle r)
- Adds a rectangle to this rectangle. The resulting rectangle is
the union of the two rectangles.
- Parameters:
- a - rectangle.
grow
public void grow(int h,
int v)
- Grows the rectangle both horizontally and vertically.
This method modifies the rectangle so that it is
h
units larger on both the left and right side,
and v
units larger at both the top and bottom.
The new rectangle has (x - h
,
y - v
) as its top-left corner, a
width of
width
+
2h
,
and a height of
height
+
2v
.
If negative values are supplied for h
and
v
, the size of the rectangle decreases accordingly.
The grow
method does not check whether the resulting
values of width
and height
are
non-negative.
- Parameters:
- h - the horizontal expansion.
- v - the vertical expansion.
isEmpty
public boolean isEmpty()
- Determines whether this rectangle is empty. A rectangle is empty if
its width or its height is less than or equal to zero.
- Returns:
-
true
if this rectangle is empty;
false
otherwise.

- Returns the hashcode for this rectangle.
- Returns:
- the hashcode for this rectangle.
- Overrides:

null and is a Rectangle object that has the
same top-left corner, width, and height as this rectangle.
- Parameters:
- obj - the object to compare with.
- Returns:
-
true
if the objects are equal;
false
otherwise.
- Overrides:
- equals in class Object
toString
public String toString()
- Returns a string representation of this rectangle
and its values.
