All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

Point, Point2D.Double, Point2D.Float
```
public abstract class Point2D
extends Object
implements Cloneable
```
The Point2D class defines a point representing a location in (x,y) coordinate space.
This class is only the abstract superclass for all objects that store a 2D coordinate. The actual storage representation of the coordinates is left to the subclass.

Since:

1.2
