Draw rectangle border thickness

Question

Is it possible to do draw a rectangle with a given border thickness in an easy way?

Answer 1

If you are drawing on a Graphics2D object, you can use the setStroke() method:

Graphics2D g2; double thickness = 2; Stroke oldStroke = g2.getStroke(); g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(thickness)); g2.drawRect(x, y, width, height); g2.setStroke(oldStroke); 

If this is being done on a Swing component and you are being passed a Graphics object, you can downcast it to a Graphics2D.

Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
