    • Method Detail

      • getX

        public double getX​()
        Returns the X coordinate of the bounding Rectangle in double precision.
        Specified by:
        getX in class RectangularShape
        Returns:
        the X coordinate of the bounding Rectangle.
      • getY

        public double getY​()
        Returns the Y coordinate of the bounding Rectangle in double precision.
        Specified by:
        getY in class RectangularShape
        Returns:
        the Y coordinate of the bounding Rectangle.
      • getWidth

        public double getWidth​()
        Returns the width of the bounding Rectangle in double precision.
        Specified by:
        getWidth in class RectangularShape
        Returns:
        the width of the bounding Rectangle.

        Specified by:
        getHeight in class RectangularShape
        Returns:

      • getBounds2D

        public Rectangle2D getBounds2D​()
        Returns a high precision and more accurate bounding box of the Shape than the getBounds method. Note that there is no guarantee that the returned Rectangle2D is the smallest bounding box that encloses the Shape, only that the Shape lies entirely within the indicated Rectangle2D. The bounding box returned by this method is usually tighter than that returned by the getBounds method and never fails due to overflow problems since the return value can be an instance of the Rectangle2D that uses double precision values to store the dimensions.

        Note that the definition of insideness can lead to situations where points on the defining outline of the shape may not be considered contained in the returned bounds object, but only in cases where those points are also not considered contained in the original shape.

        If a point is inside the shape according to the contains(point) method, then it must be inside the returned Rectangle2D bounds object according to the contains(point) method of the bounds. Specifically:

        shape.contains(p) requires bounds.contains(p)

        If a point is not inside the shape, then it might still be contained in the bounds object:

        bounds.contains(p) does not imply shape.contains(p)

        Specified by:
        getBounds2D in interface Shape
        Overrides:
        getBounds2D in class Rectangle2D
        Returns:
        an instance of Rectangle2D that is a high-precision bounding box of the Shape.

        public Rectangle intersection​(Rectangle r)
        Computes the intersection of this Rectangle with the specified Rectangle. Returns a new Rectangle that represents the intersection of the two rectangles. If the two rectangles do not intersect, the result will be an empty rectangle.
        Parameters:
        r - the specified Rectangle

        Computes the union of this Rectangle with the specified Rectangle. Returns a new Rectangle that represents the union of the two rectangles.

        If either Rectangle has any dimension less than zero the rules for non-existent rectangles apply. If only one has a dimension less than zero, then the result will be a copy of the other Rectangle. If both have dimension less than zero, then the result will have at least one dimension less than zero.

        If the resulting Rectangle would have a dimension too large to be expressed as an int, the result will have a dimension of Integer.MAX_VALUE along that dimension.

        r - the specified Rectangle
        Returns:
        the smallest Rectangle containing both the specified Rectangle and this Rectangle.
      • add

        public void add​(int newx,
                        int newy)
        Adds a point, specified by the integer arguments newx,newy to the bounds of this Rectangle.

        If this Rectangle has any dimension less than zero, the rules for non-existent rectangles apply. In that case, the new bounds of this Rectangle will have a location equal to the specified coordinates and width and height equal to zero.

        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. If the specified point must be contained within the new Rectangle, a 1x1 rectangle should be added instead:

             r.add(newx, newy, 1, 1);
         
        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 specified Point to the bounds of this Rectangle.

        If this Rectangle has any dimension less than zero, the rules for non-existent rectangles apply. In that case, the new bounds of this Rectangle will have a location equal to the coordinates of the specified Point and width and height equal to zero.

        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. If the specified point must be contained within the new Rectangle, a 1x1 rectangle should be added instead:

             r.add(pt.x, pt.y, 1, 1);
         
        Parameters:
        pt - the new Point to add to this Rectangle
      • add

        public void add​(Rectangle r)
        Adds a Rectangle to this Rectangle. The resulting Rectangle is the union of the two rectangles.

        If either Rectangle has any dimension less than 0, the result will have the dimensions of the other Rectangle. If both Rectangles have at least one dimension less than 0, the result will have at least one dimension less than 0.

        If either Rectangle has one or both dimensions equal to 0, the result along those axes with 0 dimensions will be equivalent to the results obtained by adding the corresponding origin coordinate to the result rectangle along that axis, similar to the operation of the add(Point) method, but contribute no further dimension beyond that.

        If the resulting Rectangle would have a dimension too large to be expressed as an int, the result will have a dimension of Integer.MAX_VALUE along that dimension.

        Parameters:
        r - the specified Rectangle
      • grow

        public void grow​(int h,
                         int v)
        Resizes 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 upper-left corner, 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 will check for integer overflow and underflow, but does not check whether the resulting values of width and height grow from negative to non-negative or shrink from non-negative to negative.

        Parameters:
        h - the horizontal expansion
        v - the vertical expansion
      • isEmpty

        public boolean isEmpty​()
        Determines whether the RectangularShape is empty. When the RectangularShape is empty, it encloses no area.
        Specified by:

        Returns:
        true if the RectangularShape is empty; false otherwise.

This method computes a binary OR of the appropriate mask values indicating, for each side of this Rectangle2D, whether or not the specified coordinates are on the same side of the edge as the rest of this Rectangle2D.
        Specified by:
        outcode in class Rectangle2D
        Parameters:
        x - the specified X coordinate
