Instances of this class represent rectangular areas in an
(x, y) coordinate system. The top left corner of the rectangle
is specified by its x and y values, and the extent of the
rectangle is specified by its width and height.
The coordinate space for rectangles and points is considered
to have increasing values downward and to the right from its
origin making this the normal, computer graphics oriented notion
of (x, y) coordinates rather than the strict mathematical one.
The hashCode() method in this class uses the values of the public
fields to compute the hash value. When storing instances of the
class in hashed collections, do not modify these fields after the
object has been inserted.
Application code does not need to explicitly release the
resources managed by each instance when those instances are no longer
required, and thus no dispose() method is provided.
