Parameters:

top - the inset from the top.

left - the inset from the left.

bottom - the inset from the bottom.

right - the inset from the right.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Checks whether two insets objects are equal. Two instances of Insets are equal if the four integer values of the fields top, left, bottom, and right are all equal.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if the two insets are equal; otherwise false.
