- Field Detail
  - top
```
public int top
```
    The inset from the top. This value is added to the Top of the rectangle to yield a new location for the Top.
    
    See Also:
    clone()
  - left
```
public int left
```
    The inset from the left. This value is added to the Left of the rectangle to yield a new location for the Left edge.
    
    See Also:
    clone()
  - bottom
```
public int bottom
```
    The inset from the bottom. This value is subtracted from the Bottom of the rectangle to yield a new location for the Bottom.
    
    See Also:
    clone()
  - right
```
public int right
```
    The inset from the right. This value is subtracted from the Right of the rectangle to yield a new location for the Right edge.

```
public Insets(int top,
      int left,
      int bottom,
      int right)
```
    Creates and initializes a new Insets object with the specified top, left, bottom, and right insets.
    
    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
  - set
```
public void set(int top,
       int left,
       int bottom,
       int right)
```
    Set top, left, bottom, and right to the specified values
    
    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.
    Since:
    
    1.5
  - 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.

  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code for this Insets.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    a hash code for this Insets.
    See Also:
    Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representation of this Insets object. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    a string representation of this Insets object.
  - clone
```
public Object clone()
```
    Create a copy of this object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class Object
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this Insets object.
