Class Bounds

java.lang.Object

javafx.geometry.Bounds

Direct Known Subclasses:: BoundingBox

public abstract class Bounds extends Object

The base class for objects that are used to describe the bounds of a node or other scene graph object. One interesting characteristic of a Bounds object is that it may have a negative width, height, or depth. A negative value for any of these indicates that the Bounds are "empty".

Since:: JavaFX 2.0
