###

This class holds four values that represent the top, left, bottom, and right margins, in pixels, of a `Container` or other `Component`. Objects of this type may be specified in a `GridBagConstraints` layout object, and are returned by `Container.insets()`, which queries the margins of a container.

    public class Insets extends Object implements Cloneable, Serializable {
        // Public Constructor
                public Insets(int top, int left, int bottom, int right);
        // Public Instance Variables
                public int bottom;
                public int left;
                public int right;
                public int top;
        // Public Instance Methods
                public Object clone();  // Overrides Object
            1.1  public boolean equals(Object obj);  // Overrides Object
                public String toString();  // Overrides Object
    }
