Class java.awt.Point
java.lang.Object
|
+----java.awt.Point
public class Point
extends Object
implements Serializable
The Point
class represents a location in a
two-dimensional (x , y ) coordinate space.
x
The x coordinate.
y
The y coordinate.
Point ()
Constructs and initializes a point at the origin
(0, 0) of the coordinate space.
Point (int, int)
Constructs and initializes a point at the specified
(x , y ) location in the coordinate space.
Point (Point)
Constructs and initializes a point with the same location as
the specified Point
object.
equals (Object)
Determines whether two points are equal.
getLocation ()
Returns the location of this point.
hashCode ()
Returns the hashcode for this point.
move (int, int)
Moves this point to the specificed location in the
(x , y ) coordinate plane.
setLocation (int, int)
Changes the point to have the specificed location.
setLocation (Point)
Sets the location of the point to the specificed location.
toString ()
Returns a representation of this point and its location
in the (x , y ) coordinate space as a string.
translate (int, int)
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
).
x
public int x
The x coordinate.
y
public int y
The y coordinate.
Point
public Point()
Constructs and initializes a point at the origin
(0, 0) of the coordinate space.
Parameters:
x - the x coordinate.
y - the y coordinate.
Point
public Point(Point p)
Constructs and initializes a point with the same location as
the specified Point
object.
Parameters:
p - a point.
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.
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.

getLocation , setLocation , setLocation
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.
See Also:
setLocation , 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.
See Also:
setLocation , getLocation , move
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:
setLocation
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:
dx - the distance to move this point
along the x axis.
dy - the distance to move this point
along the y axis.
hashCode
public int hashCode()
Returns the hashcode for this point.
Returns:
a hash code for this point.
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
equals
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Determines whether two points are equal. Two instances of
Point
are equal if the values of their
x
and y
member fields, representing
their position in the coordinate space, are the same.
Parameters:
obj - an object to be compared with this point.
Returns:
true
if the object to be compared is
an instance of Point
and has
the same values; false
otherwise.
Overrides:
equals in class Object
toString
public String toString()
Returns a representation of this point and its location
in the (x , y ) coordinate space as a string.
Returns:
a string representation of this point,
including the values of its member fields.
Overrides:
toString in class Object
