[SOLVED] Help Java2D Moving Bounds: Why won't this work?

[hippocrypt]

Why doesn't this code output "45, 67"?

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9

import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D; public class BoundsTest {   public static void main(String[] args) {     Ellipse2D e = new Ellipse2D.Float(0, 0, 20, 20);     e.getBounds().setLocation(45, 67);     System.out.println(e.getBounds().x + ", " + e.getBounds().y);   } }

Because getBounds() returns a new Rectangle, so changing it doesn't change the ellipse.  Try using one of the setFrame(..) methods instead.

I love that Ellipse2D extends RectangularShape - the only place on Earth where a circle is a square!    _{(yes, I know what they mean)}

The Rectangle returned by getBounds is a new object, so changing its shape doesn't affect the shape you got it from.  If you want to apply your transformations to the bounds, use the setFrame method, like this:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12

import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D; import java.awt.Rectangle; public class BoundsTest {   public static void main(String[] args) {     Ellipse2D e = new Ellipse2D.Float(0, 0, 20, 20);     Rectangle r = e.getBounds();     r.setLocation(45, 67);     e.setFrame(r);     System.out.println(e.getBounds().x + ", " + e.getBounds().y);   } }

I see, thanks.
