public class Border
extends Panel
A panel containing a single component, around which a border is drawn. Of course, the single component may be a container which may contain other components, so a Border can surround multiple components.

Thickness of the border, and the gap between the Component and the border are specified at time of construction. Default border thickness is 2 - default gap is 0.

Border color may be set via setLineColor(Color).

Border employs a DrawnRectangle to paint the border. Derived classes are free to override DrawnRectangle border() if they wish to use an extension of DrawnRectangle for drawing their border.

The following code snippet, from gjt.test.BorderTest creates an AWT Button, and embeds the button in a border. That border is then embedded in another border. The AWT Button winds up inside of a cyan border with a pixel width of 7, inside of a black border (pixel width 2):

      private Border makeBorderedAWTButton() {
          Button button;
          Border cyanBorder, blackBorder;
          button = new Button("Button Inside Two Borders");
          cyanBorder = new Border(button, 7);
          cyanBorder.setLineColor(Color.cyan);
          blackBorder = new Border(cyanBorder);
          return blackBorder;
      }
