How many pixels inset a figure by a border on top,bottom,left and right.
Some layouts take care that value.
And I guess it help to know if a border was clicked.
Anyway,generally a border overdraw a figure in insets.
Maybe you could know if events happen inside a border like below.
public class MouseClicked extends MouseListener.Stub{
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me) {
Figure figure=(Figure)me.getSource();
//I guess there are other better way.
if(figure.getBounds().contains(me.x,me.y) && !figure.getBounds().getCropped(figure.getInsets()).contains(me.x,me.y)){
shell.setText("click border");
}else{
shell.setText("click inside");
}
}
}
