Dimension (Java Platform SE 7 )

java.lang.Object
- java.awt.geom.Dimension2D
- - java.awt.Dimension

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

DimensionUIResource
```
public class Dimension
extends Dimension2D
implements Serializable
```
The Dimension class encapsulates the width and height of a component (in integer precision) in a single object. The class is associated with certain properties of components. Several methods defined by the Component class and the LayoutManager interface return a Dimension object.
Normally the values of width and height are non-negative integers. The constructors that allow you to create a dimension do not prevent you from setting a negative value for these properties. If the value of width or height is negative, the behavior of some methods defined by other objects is undefined.

Since:

1.0

```
public Dimension()
```
    Creates an instance of Dimension with a width of zero and a height of zero.
  - Dimension
```
public Dimension(Dimension d)
```
    Creates an instance of Dimension whose width and height are the same as for the specified dimension.
    
    Parameters:
    d - the specified dimension for the width and height values
  - Dimension
```
public Dimension(int width,
         int height)
```
    Constructs a Dimension and initializes it to the specified width and specified height.
    
    Parameters:
    width - the specified width
    height - the specified height
- Method Detail
  - getWidth
```
public double getWidth()
```
    Returns the width of this Dimension in double precision.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getWidth in class Dimension2D
    
    Returns:
    the width of this Dimension.
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - getHeight
```
public double getHeight()
```
    Returns the height of this Dimension in double precision.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getHeight in class Dimension2D
    
    Returns:
    the height of this Dimension.
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - setSize
```
public void setSize(double width,
           double height)
```
    Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified width and height in double precision. Note that if width or height are larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE, they will be reset to Integer.MAX_VALUE.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setSize in class Dimension2D
    
    Parameters:
    width - the new width for the Dimension object
    height - the new height for the Dimension object
    Since:
    
    1.2
  - getSize
```
public Dimension getSize()
```
    Gets the size of this Dimension object. This method is included for completeness, to parallel the getSize method defined by Component.
    
    Returns:
    the size of this dimension, a new instance of Dimension with the same width and height
    Since:
    
    1.1
    
    See Also:
    setSize(double, double), Component.getSize()
  - setSize
```
public void setSize(Dimension d)
```
    Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified size. This method is included for completeness, to parallel the setSize method defined by Component.
    
    Parameters:
    d - the new size for this Dimension object
    Since:
    
    1.1
    
    See Also:
    getSize(), Component.setSize(int, int)
  - setSize
```
public void setSize(int width,
           int height)
```
    Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified width and height. This method is included for completeness, to parallel the setSize method defined by Component.
    
    Parameters:
    width - the new width for this Dimension object
    height - the new height for this Dimension object
    Since:
    
    1.1
    
    See Also:
    getSize(), Component.setSize(int, int)
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Checks whether two dimension objects have equal values.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    obj - the reference object with which to compare.
    
    Returns:
    true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

    Object.hashCode(), HashMap
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code for this Dimension.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    a hash code for this Dimension
    See Also:
    Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representation of the values of this Dimension object's height and width fields. 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:
