```
public class Border
extends Object
```
Base class that allows us to render a border for a component, a border is drawn before the component and is drawn within the padding region of the component. It is the responsibility of the component not to draw outside of the border line.
This class can be extended to provide additional border types and custom made border types.
A border can optionally paint the background of the component, this depends on the border type and is generally required for rounded borders that "know" the area that should be filled.

    The given images are tiled appropriately across the matching side of the border, rotated and placed as expected in the four corners. The background image is optional and it will be tiled in the background if necessary.
    By default this border does not override background unless a background image is specified.
    Notice that this version of the method is potentially much more efficient since images are rotated internally and this might save quite a bit of memory!
    The top and topLeft images must be square! The width and height of these images must be equal otherwise rotation won't work as you expect.
    
    Parameters:
    
    top - the image of the top line
    
    topLeft - the image of the top left corner
    
    background - the image of the background (optional)

    arcWidth - the horizontal diameter of the arc at the four corners.
    
    arcHeight - the vertical diameter of the arc at the four corners.

  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    {Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. The equals method implements an equivalence relation: It is reflexive: for any reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true. It is symmetric: for any reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true. It is transitive: for any reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true. It is consistent: for any reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false. The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x==y has the value true).}
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
