createIntersection

public abstract Rectangle2D createIntersection(Rectangle2D r)

Returns a new Rectangle2D object representing the intersection of this Rectangle2D with the specifiedRectangle2D.

intersect

public static void intersect(Rectangle2D src1, Rectangle2D src2, Rectangle2D dest)

Intersects the pair of specified source Rectangle2D objects and puts the result into the specified destinationRectangle2D object. One of the source rectangles can also be the destination to avoid creating a third Rectangle2D object, but in this case the original points of this source rectangle will be overwritten by this method.

Parameters:

src1 - the first of a pair of Rectangle2D objects to be intersected with each other

src2 - the second of a pair of Rectangle2D objects to be intersected with each other

dest - the Rectangle2D that holds the results of the intersection of src1 andsrc2

union

public static void union(Rectangle2D src1, Rectangle2D src2, Rectangle2D dest)

Unions the pair of source Rectangle2D objects and puts the result into the specified destination Rectangle2D object. One of the source rectangles can also be the destination to avoid creating a third Rectangle2D object, but in this case the original points of this source rectangle will be overwritten by this method.

Parameters:

src1 - the first of a pair of Rectangle2D objects to be combined with each other

src2 - the second of a pair of Rectangle2D objects to be combined with each other

add

public void add(double newx, double newy)

Adds a point, specified by the double precision argumentsnewx and newy, to this Rectangle2D. The resulting Rectangle2D is the smallest Rectangle2D that contains both the original Rectangle2D 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 left or bottom edge of the enlarged rectangle, contains returns false for that point.

Parameters:

newx, newy - the coordinates of the new point

Since:

JDK1.0

add

public void add(Point2D pt)

Adds the Point2D object pt to thisRectangle2D. The resulting Rectangle2D is the smallest Rectangle2D that contains both the originalRectangle2D and the specified Point2D.

After adding a point, a call to contains with the added point as an argument does not necessarily returntrue. 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 returns false for that point.

Parameters:

pt - the new Point2D to add to thisRectangle2D.

Since:

JDK1.0

add

public void add(Rectangle2D r)

Adds a Rectangle2D object to this Rectangle2D. The resulting Rectangle2D is the union of the two Rectangle2D objects.

Parameters:

r - the Rectangle2D to add to thisRectangle2D.

Since:

JDK1.0

getPathIterator

public PathIterator getPathIterator(AffineTransform at)

Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of thisRectangle2D. The iterator for this class is multi-threaded safe, which means that this Rectangle2D class guarantees that modifications to the geometry of this Rectangle2D object do not affect any iterations of that geometry that are already in process.

Parameters:

at - an optional AffineTransform to be applied to the coordinates as they are returned in the iteration, ornull if untransformed coordinates are desired

Returns:

the PathIterator object that returns the geometry of the outline of thisRectangle2D, one segment at a time.

Since:

1.2

getPathIterator

public PathIterator getPathIterator(AffineTransform at, double flatness)

Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of the flattened Rectangle2D. Since rectangles are already flat, the flatness parameter is ignored. The iterator for this class is multi-threaded safe, which means that this Rectangle2D class guarantees that modifications to the geometry of this Rectangle2D object do not affect any iterations of that geometry that are already in process.

Specified by:

[getPathIterator](../../../java/awt/Shape.html#getPathIterator%28java.awt.geom.AffineTransform, double%29) in interface [Shape](../../../java/awt/Shape.html "interface in java.awt")

Overrides:

[getPathIterator](../../../java/awt/geom/RectangularShape.html#getPathIterator%28java.awt.geom.AffineTransform, double%29) in class [RectangularShape](../../../java/awt/geom/RectangularShape.html "class in java.awt.geom")

Parameters:

at - an optional AffineTransform to be applied to the coordinates as they are returned in the iteration, ornull if untransformed coordinates are desired

flatness - the maximum distance that the line segments used to approximate the curved segments are allowed to deviate from any point on the original curve. Since rectangles are already flat, the flatness parameter is ignored.

Returns:

the PathIterator object that returns the geometry of the outline of thisRectangle2D, one segment at a time.

Since:

1.2

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hashcode for this Rectangle2D.

Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Hashtable

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Determines whether or not the specified Object is equal to this Rectangle2D. The specified Object is equal to this Rectangle2D if it is an instance of Rectangle2D and if its location and size are the same as this Rectangle2D.

Overrides:

[equals](../../../java/lang/Object.html#equals%28java.lang.Object%29) in class [Object](../../../java/lang/Object.html "class in java.lang")

Parameters:
