Interface Border

public interface Border

The class is responsible for defining and rendering borders. Border size is defined by insets.

Borders can be opaque. If true, then the border has to care about painting all pixels in borders. If false, then the widget background is painted under borders too.

This can be used for non-rectagular shapes of borders e.g. returning true from isOpaque and drawing a filled rounded rectangle.
