Class Point2D

java.lang.Object
java.awt.geom.Point2D
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
Direct Known Subclasses:
Point, Point2D.Double, Point2D.Float
public abstract class Point2D extends Object implements Cloneable
The Point2D class defines a point representing a location in (x,y) coordinate space.

This class is only the abstract superclass for all objects that store a 2D coordinate. The actual storage representation of the coordinates is left to the subclass.

Since:
1.2
