      extended by 
org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Region

public final class Region

extends 
Resource

Instances of this class represent areas of an x-y coordinate system that are aggregates of the areas covered by a number of polygons.

Application code must explicitly invoke the Region.dispose() method to release the operating system resources managed by each instance when those instances are no longer required.
