public class Dimensions
extends Object

A utility class that is used to load and retrieve the localised configurable dimensions for UI components. This class needs an active ApplicationInstance to be properly initialised.

Note: Always use getExtent( String ) variant over getInt( String ) variant as the former is more flexible in terms of configuring units.

Parameters:

source - The object whose configured localised value is to be retrieved.

key - The key of the integer value to be returned

Returns:

The appropriate value (if the key is not defined, the value 0 is returned)
