com.sptci.echo2.Dimensions

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.
