GetBounds vs getBounds2D
While reading the Java documentation on Polygon, I discovered that there is a method getBounds
and getBounds2D
. It was noted that the first was less accurate than the second.
I was wondering what exactly is meant by "less accurate"? Does the value return getBounds
false, or roughly 256 versus 256.3 (example)? Or is it something completely different?
Thanks for any enlightenment,
Samuel

getBounds
returns a Rectangle consisting of integers, but getBounds2D
returns a Rectangle2D which consists of floating point numbers, so higher precision is possible.
For Polygon
this it shouldn't matter because all points Polygon
are based on integers, but for a more general Shape
one that is implemented Polygon
it might matter.
