Jim,
Sometimes it's convenient to work with size and origin. Our graphics
system adds some operations on Rectangle2D.Float/Double including the
ability to construct one using a Point2D and a Dimension2D, and the
ability to ask for size and origin of a Rectangle2D.Float/Double
separate from bounds. We had to implement our own equivalent to
Dimension2D.Float/Double because one wasn't provided in Java2D. I'd
also suggest adding the constructors and the size/origin enquiry
functions as appropriate to Java2D shape classes. We find them to be
very useful.
