Class ConverterInsets

java.lang.Object
  com.abstractics.utils.converter.ConverterInsets

All Implemented Interfaces:

ObjectConverter

public class ConverterInsets

extends java.lang.Object

implements ObjectConverter

Converts the given object into a String via the toString() method and then converts the String into a java.awt.Insets object.
Insets contain 4 numbers generally used for padding and margin notation. A number for top, right, bottom, and left are provided. This converter will expect one of the following three formats for the String:

• A single integer ("4") - the same value is used for top, right, bottom, and left values.
• Two integers, separated by a comma ("2,4") - The first number is used for both top and bottom, the second number is used for left and right.
• Four integers, separated by commas ("2,5,3,1") - Each number is used for the top, right, bottom, and left values, respectively.

Any other String value will result in an exception.
