Interface Stroke
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- BasicStroke
public interface Stroke
The Stroke
interface allows a
Graphics2D
object to obtain a Shape
that is the
decorated outline, or stylistic representation of the outline,
of the specified Shape
.
The objects of the classes implementing Stroke
must be read-only because Graphics2D
does not
clone these objects either when they are set as an attribute
with the setStroke
method or when the
Graphics2D
object is itself cloned.
If a Stroke
object is modified after it is set in
the Graphics2D
context then the behavior
of subsequent rendering would be undefined.
