top

public int top

The inset from the top. This value is added to the Top of the rectangle to yield a new location for the Top.

See Also:

left

public int left

The inset from the left. This value is added to the Left of the rectangle to yield a new location for the Left edge.

bottom

public int bottom

The inset from the bottom. This value is subtracted from the Bottom of the rectangle to yield a new location for the Bottom.

set

public void set(int top, int left, int bottom, int right)

Set top, left, bottom, and right to the specified values

Parameters:: top - the inset from the top.; left - the inset from the left.; bottom - the inset from the bottom.; right - the inset from the right.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Checks whether two insets objects are equal. Two instances of Insets are equal if the four integer values of the fields top, left, bottom, and right are all equal.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if the two insets are equal; otherwise false.

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code for this Insets.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code for this Insets.

See Also:
