AWT Rectangle2D Class

Introduction

The Rectangle2D class states a rectangle defined by a location (x,y) and dimension (w x h).

Class declaration

Following is the declaration for java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D class:

public abstract class Rectangle2D
   extends RectangularShape

Field

Following are the fields for java.awt.geom.Arc2D class:

static int OUT_BOTTOM -- The bitmask that indicates that a point lies below this Rectangle2D.
static int OUT_LEFT -- The bitmask that indicates that a point lies to the left of this Rectangle2D.
static int OUT_RIGHT -- The bitmask that indicates that a point lies to the right of this Rectangle2D.
static int OUT_TOP -- The bitmask that indicates that a point lies above this Rectangle2D.

Class constructors

S.N.	Constructor & Description

Class methods

S.N.	Method & Description
1	void add(double newx, double newy) Adds a point, specified by the double precision arguments newx and newy, to this Rectangle2D.
2	void add(Point2D pt) Adds the Point2D object pt to this Rectangle2D.
3	void add(Rectangle2D r) Adds a Rectangle2D object to this Rectangle2D.
4	boolean contains(double x, double y) Tests if the specified coordinates are inside the boundary of the Shape.
5	boolean contains(double x, double y, double w, double h) Tests if the interior of the Shape entirely contains the specified rectangular area.
6	abstract Rectangle2D createIntersection(Rectangle2D r) Returns a new Rectangle2D object representing the intersection of this Rectangle2D with the specified Rectangle2D.
7	abstract Rectangle2D createUnion(Rectangle2D r) Returns a new Rectangle2D object representing the union of this Rectangle2D with the specified Rectangle2D.
8	boolean equals(Object obj) Determines whether or not the specified Object is equal to this Rectangle2D.
9	Rectangle2D getBounds2D() Returns a high precision and more accurate bounding box of the Shape than the getBounds method.
10	PathIterator getPathIterator(AffineTransform at) Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of this Rectangle2D.
11	PathIterator getPathIterator(AffineTransform at, double flatness) Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of the flattened Rectangle2D.
12	int hashCode() Returns the hashcode for this Rectangle2D.
13	static void intersect(Rectangle2D src1, Rectangle2D src2, Rectangle2D dest) Intersects the pair of specified source Rectangle2D objects and puts the result into the specified destination Rectangle2D object.
14	boolean intersects(double x, double y, double w, double h) Tests if the interior of the Shape intersects the interior of a specified rectangular area.
15	boolean intersectsLine(double x1, double y1, double x2, double y2) Tests if the specified line segment intersects the interior of this Rectangle2D.
16	boolean intersectsLine(Line2D l) Tests if the specified line segment intersects the interior of this Rectangle2D.
17	abstract int outcode(double x, double y) Determines where the specified coordinates lie with respect to this Rectangle2D.
18	int outcode(Point2D p) Determines where the specified Point2D lies with respect to this Rectangle2D.
19	void setFrame(double x, double y, double w, double h) Sets the location and size of the outer bounds of this Rectangle2D to the specified rectangular values.
20	abstract void setRect(double x, double y, double w, double h) Sets the location and size of this Rectangle2D to the specified double values.
21	void setRect(Rectangle2D r) Sets this Rectangle2D to be the same as the specified Rectangle2D.
22	static void union(Rectangle2D src1, Rectangle2D src2, Rectangle2D dest) Unions the pair of source Rectangle2D objects and puts the result into the specified destination Rectangle2D object.

Rectangle2D Example

Create the following java program using any editor of your choice in say D:/ > AWT > com > tutorialspoint > gui >

AWTGraphicsDemo.java

package com.tutorialspoint.gui;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;

public class AWTGraphicsDemo extends Frame {
       
   public AWTGraphicsDemo(){
      super("Java AWT Examples");
      prepareGUI();
   }

   public static void main(String[] args){
      AWTGraphicsDemo  awtGraphicsDemo = new AWTGraphicsDemo();  
      awtGraphicsDemo.setVisible(true);
   }

   private void prepareGUI(){
      setSize(400,400);
      addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
         public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent){
            System.exit(0);
         }        
      }); 
   }    

   @Override
   public void paint(Graphics g) {
      Rectangle2D shape = new Rectangle2D.Float();
      shape.setFrame(100, 150, 200,100);
      Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g; 
      g2.draw (shape);
      Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 24);
      g2.setFont(font);
      g.drawString("Welcome to TutorialsPoint", 50, 70);
      g2.drawString("Rectangle2D.Rectangle", 100, 120);
   }
}

Compile the program using command prompt. Go to D:/ > AWT and type the following command.

D:\AWT>javac com\tutorialspoint\gui\AWTGraphicsDemo.java

If no error comes that means compilation is successful. Run the program using following command.

D:\AWT>java com.tutorialspoint.gui.AWTGraphicsDemo
