    • 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.

      clone()

    • 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.

      clone()

    • 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.

    • Insets

      public Insets​(int top, int left, int bottom, int right)
      Creates and initializes a new Insets object with the specified top, left, bottom, and right insets.
      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.
