- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### HashAttributeSet

          public HashAttributeSet()

      Construct a new, empty attribute set.

Thus, later array elements may replace earlier array elements if the array contains duplicate attribute values or attribute categories.
      Parameters:
        `attributes` - Array of attribute values to add to the set. If null, an empty attribute set is constructed.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - (unchecked exception) Thrown if any element of `attributes` is null.

    - #### HashAttributeSet

          public HashAttributeSet(AttributeSet attributes)

      Construct a new attribute set, initially populated with the values from the given set.

      Adds the specified attribute to this attribute set if it is not already present, first removing any existing in the same attribute category as the specified attribute value.
      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Parameters:
        `attribute` - Attribute value to be added to this attribute set.
      Returns:
        `true` if this attribute set changed as a result of the call, i.e., the given attribute value was not already a member of this attribute set.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - (unchecked exception) Thrown if the `attribute` is null.
        `UnmodifiableSetException` - (unchecked exception) Thrown if this attribute set does not support the `add()` operation.

    - #### remove

          public boolean remove(Class<?> category)

      Removes any attribute for this category from this attribute set if present. If `category` is null, then `remove()` does nothing and returns `false`.
      Specified by:
        `remove` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Parameters:
        `category` - Attribute category to be removed from this attribute set.
      Returns:
        `true` if this attribute set changed as a result of the call, i.e., the given attribute category had been a member of this attribute set.
      Throws:
        `UnmodifiableSetException` - (unchecked exception) Thrown if this attribute set does not support the `remove()` operation.

    - #### remove

          public boolean remove(Attribute attribute)

      Removes the specified attribute from this attribute set if present. If `attribute` is null, then `remove()` does nothing and returns `false`.

      Parameters:
        `attribute` - Attribute value to be removed from this attribute set.

        `UnmodifiableSetException` - (unchecked exception) Thrown if this attribute set does not support the `remove()` operation.

    - #### containsKey

          public boolean containsKey(Class<?> category)

      Returns `true` if this attribute set contains an attribute for the specified category.
      Specified by:
        `containsKey` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Parameters:
        `category` - whose presence in this attribute set is to be tested.
      Returns:
        `true` if this attribute set contains an attribute value for the specified category.

    - #### containsValue

          public boolean containsValue(Attribute attribute)

      Returns `true` if this attribute set contains the given attribute.

        `containsValue` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Parameters:
        `attribute` - value whose presence in this attribute set is to be tested.

        `true` if this attribute set contains the given attribute value.

    - #### addAll

          public boolean addAll(AttributeSet attributes)

      Adds all of the elements in the specified set to this attribute. The outcome is the same as if the `add(Attribute)` operation had been applied to this attribute set successively with each element from the specified set. The behavior of the `addAll(AttributeSet)` operation is unspecified if the specified set is modified while the operation is in progress.

      If the `addAll(AttributeSet)` operation throws an exception, the effect on this attribute set's state is implementation dependent; elements from the specified set before the point of the exception may or may not have been added to this attribute set.

      Specified by:
        `addAll` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Parameters:
        `attributes` - whose elements are to be added to this attribute set.
      Returns:
        `true` if this attribute set changed as a result of the call.
      Throws:
        `UnmodifiableSetException` - (Unchecked exception) Thrown if this attribute set does not support the `addAll(AttributeSet)` method.
        `NullPointerException` - (Unchecked exception) Thrown if some element in the specified set is null, or the set is null.
      See Also:
        `add(Attribute)`

    - #### size

          public int size()

      Returns the number of attributes in this attribute set. If this attribute set contains more than `Integer.MAX_VALUE` elements, returns `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.
      Specified by:
        `size` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Returns:
        The number of attributes in this attribute set.

    - #### toArray

          public Attribute[] toArray()

      Description copied from interface: `AttributeSet`
      Returns an array of the attributes contained in this set.
      Specified by:
        `toArray` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Returns:
        the Attributes contained in this set as an array, zero length if the AttributeSet is empty.

    - #### clear

          public void clear()

      Removes all attributes from this attribute set.
      Specified by:
        `clear` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Throws:
        `UnmodifiableSetException` - (unchecked exception) Thrown if this attribute set does not support the `clear()` operation.

    - #### isEmpty

          public boolean isEmpty()

      Returns true if this attribute set contains no attributes.
      Specified by:
        `isEmpty` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Returns:
        true if this attribute set contains no attributes.

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object object)

      Compares the specified object with this attribute set for equality. Returns `true` if the given object is also an attribute set and the two attribute sets contain the same attribute category-attribute value mappings. This ensures that the `equals()` method works properly across different implementations of the AttributeSet interface.
      Specified by:
        `equals` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`
      Parameters:
        `object` - to be compared for equality with this attribute set.
      Returns:
        `true` if the specified object is equal to this attribute set.
      See Also:
        `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Returns the hash code value for this attribute set. The hash code of an attribute set is defined to be the sum of the hash codes of each entry in the AttributeSet. This ensures that `t1.equals(t2)` implies that `t1.hashCode()==t2.hashCode()` for any two attribute sets `t1` and `t2`, as required by the general contract of `Object.hashCode()`.
      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in interface `AttributeSet`
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        The hash code value for this attribute set.
      See Also:
        `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`
