why are GObject method params double

[wileedingo]

Just learning Java. I'm curious to know why GObject method parameters are in double, not int. As the basic unit of measurement is pixels, it would seem that int would be the natural choice.

thanks.

Maybe those GObjects do their dirty deeds in 'world coordinates'; read about them in the API documentation of the Graphics2D class.

kind regards,

Thanks, Jos.

That makes some sense to me, though I find it strange that there's a real mix between methods that specify int parameters and those that use double. You would think they would all be one or the other.

Well, I don't know what a GObject is but it should have a reason for having doubles for parameters and ints; otherwise it would be very inconsistent.

kind regards,
