  +--java.awt.Point

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class Point

extends Object

implements Serializable

A point representing a location in (x, y) coordinate space, specified in integer precision.

Since:

JDK1.0

Serialized Form

Field Summary

int	x The x coordinate.
int	y The y coordinate.

Constructor Summary

Point()
Constructs and initializes a point at the origin (0, 0) of the coordinate space.

Point(int x, int y)
Constructs and initializes a point at the specified (x, y) location in the coordinate space.

Point(Point p)
Constructs and initializes a point with the same location as the specified Point object.

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object obj) Determines whether an instance of Point2D is equal to this point.
Point	getLocation() Returns the location of this point.
void	move(int x, int y) Moves this point to the specificed location in the (x, y) coordinate plane.
void	setLocation(int x, int y) Changes the point to have the specificed location.
void	setLocation(Point p) Sets the location of the point to the specificed location.
String	toString() Returns a string representation of this point and its location in the (x, y) coordinate space.
void	translate(int x, int y) Translates this point, at location (x, y), by dx along the x axis and dy along the y axis so that it now represents the point (x + dx, y + dy).

Field Detail

x

public int x

The x coordinate. If no x coordinate is set it will default to '0'.

See Also:

getLocation(), move(int, int)

y

public int y

The y coordinate. If no y coordinate is set it will default to '0'.

See Also:

getLocation(), move(int, int)

Constructor Detail

Point

public Point()

Constructs and initializes a point at the origin (0, 0) of the coordinate space.

Since:

JDK1.1

Point

public Point(Point p)

Constructs and initializes a point with the same location as the specified Point object.

Parameters:

p - a point.

Since:

JDK1.1

Point

public Point(int x,
             int y)

Constructs and initializes a point at the specified (x, y) location in the coordinate space.

Parameters:

x - the x coordinate.

y - the y coordinate.

Method Detail

getLocation

public Point getLocation()

Returns the location of this point. This method is included for completeness, to parallel the getLocation method of Component.

Returns:

a copy of this point, at the same location.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

Component.getLocation(), setLocation(java.awt.Point), setLocation(int, int)

setLocation

public void setLocation(Point p)

Sets the location of the point to the specificed location. This method is included for completeness, to parallel the setLocation method of Component.

Parameters:

p - a point, the new location for this point.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

Component.setLocation(java.awt.Point), getLocation()

setLocation

public void setLocation(int x,
                        int y)

Changes the point to have the specificed location.

This method is included for completeness, to parallel the setLocation method of Component. Its behavior is identical with move(int, int).

Parameters:

x - the x coordinate of the new location.

y - the y coordinate of the new location.

Since:

JDK1.1

See Also:

Component.setLocation(int, int), getLocation(), move(int, int)

move

public void move(int x,
                 int y)

Moves this point to the specificed location in the (x, y) coordinate plane. This method is identical with setLocation(int, int).

Parameters:

x - the x coordinate of the new location.

y - the y coordinate of the new location.

See Also:

Component.setLocation(int, int)

translate

public void translate(int x,
                      int y)

Translates this point, at location (x, y), by dx along the x axis and dy along the y axis so that it now represents the point (x + dx, y + dy).

Parameters:

x - the distance to move this point along the x axis.

y - the distance to move this point along the y axis.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Determines whether an instance of Point2D is equal to this point. Two instances of Point2D are equal if the values of their x and y member fields, representing their position in the coordinate space, are the same.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - an object to be compared with this point.

Returns:

true if the object to be compared is an instance of Point2D and has the same values; false otherwise.

Boolean.hashCode(), Hashtable

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this point and its location in the (x, y) coordinate space. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of this point.
