## javax.swing.border
Class CompoundBorder

    java.lang.Object
      javax.swing.border.AbstractBorder
          javax.swing.border.CompoundBorder

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, Border

Direct Known Subclasses:
  BorderUIResource.CompoundBorderUIResource

    public class CompoundBorder

extends AbstractBorder

A composite Border class used to compose two Border objects into a single border by nesting an inside Border object within the insets of an outside Border object. For example, this class may be used to add blank margin space to a component with an existing decorative border:

``

        Border border = comp.getBorder();
        Border margin = new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10);
        comp.setBorder(new CompoundBorder(border, margin));

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

Field Summary
`protected Border` | `insideBorder`
`protected Border` | `outsideBorder`

Constructor Summary
`CompoundBorder()` Creates a compound border with null outside and inside borders.
`CompoundBorder(Border outsideBorder, Border insideBorder)` Creates a compound border with the specified outside and inside borders.

Method Summary
`Insets` | `getBorderInsets(Component c)` Returns the insets of the composite border by adding the insets of the outside border to the insets of the inside border.
`Insets` | `getBorderInsets(Component c, Insets insets)` Reinitialize the insets parameter with this Border's current Insets.
`Border` | `getInsideBorder()` Returns the inside border object.
`Border` | `getOutsideBorder()` Returns the outside border object.
`boolean` | `isBorderOpaque()` Returns whether or not this compound border is opaque.
`void` | `paintBorder(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height)` Paints the compound border by painting the outside border with the specified position and size and then painting the inside border at the specified position and size offset by the insets of the outside border.

  Specified by:
    `isBorderOpaque` in interface `Border`
  Overrides:
    `isBorderOpaque` in class `AbstractBorder`
  Returns:
    false

### paintBorder

    public void paintBorder(Component c,
                            Graphics g,

                            int height)

  Paints the compound border by painting the outside border with the specified position and size and then painting the inside border at the specified position and size offset by the insets of the outside border.

  Specified by:
    `paintBorder` in interface `Border`
  Overrides:
    `paintBorder` in class `AbstractBorder`
  Parameters:
    `c` - the component for which this border is being painted
    `g` - the paint graphics
    `x` - the x position of the painted border
    `y` - the y position of the painted border
    `width` - the width of the painted border
    `height` - the height of the painted border

### getBorderInsets

    public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c,
                                  Insets insets)

  Reinitialize the insets parameter with this Border's current Insets.

  Overrides:
    `getBorderInsets` in class `AbstractBorder`
  Parameters:
    `c` - the component for which this border insets value applies
    `insets` - the object to be reinitialized
  Returns:
    the `insets` object

### getBorderInsets

    public Insets getBorderInsets(Component c)

  Returns the insets of the composite border by adding the insets of the outside border to the insets of the inside border.

  Specified by:
    `getBorderInsets` in interface `Border`
  Overrides:
    `getBorderInsets` in class `AbstractBorder`
  Parameters:
    `c` - the component for which this border insets value applies
  Returns:
    the new `Insets` object initialized to 0

### getOutsideBorder
