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`.

Field Summary
`protected int` | `etchType`
`protected Color` | `highlight`
`static int` | `LOWERED` Lowered etched type.
`static int` | `RAISED` Raised etched type.

Method Detail

### paintBorder

    public void paintBorder(Component c,
                            Graphics g,
                            int x,

                            int height)

  Paints the border for the specified component with the specified position and size.

  Specified by:
    `paintBorder` in interface `Border`
  Overrides:
    `paintBorder` in class `AbstractBorder`
  Parameters:
    `c` - the component for which this border is being painted
    `g` - the paint graphics
    `x` - the x position of the painted border
    `y` - the y position of the painted border
    `width` - the width of the painted border
    `height` - the height of the painted border

### 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)

  Reinitialize the insets parameter with this Border's current Insets.

  Overrides:
    `getBorderInsets` in class `AbstractBorder`
  Parameters:
    `c` - the component for which this border insets value applies
    `insets` - the object to be reinitialized
