Class EtchedBorder

java.lang.Object
  extended by javax.swing.border.AbstractBorder
      extended by javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Border
Direct Known Subclasses:
BorderUIResource.EtchedBorderUIResource

public class EtchedBorder
extends AbstractBorder

A class which implements a simple etched border which can either be etched-in or etched-out. If no highlight/shadow colors are initialized when the border is created, then these colors will be dynamically derived from the background color of the component argument passed into the paintBorder() method.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

getBorderInsets

public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c)
Returns the insets of the border.

Specified by:
getBorderInsets in interface Border
Overrides:
getBorderInsets in class AbstractBorder
Parameters:
c - the component for which this border insets value applies
Returns:
the new Insets object initialized to 0

getBorderInsets

public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c,
                              Insets insets)
