public abstract double getHeight ()

Returns the height of this Dimension in double precision.

Returns
  • the height of this Dimension.

public abstract double getWidth ()

Returns the width of this Dimension in double precision.

Returns
  • the width of this Dimension.

public abstract void setSize (double width, double height)

Sets the size of this Dimension object to the specified width and height. This method is included for completeness, to parallel the getSize method of Component.

Parameters
width the new width for the Dimension object
height the new height for the Dimension object

public void setSize (Dimension2D d)

Sets the size of this Dimension2D object to match the specified size. This method is included for completeness, to parallel the getSize method of Component.

Parameters
d the new size for the Dimension2D object
