# Class CSSBorder

public class CSSBorder extends Border

A border that can be configured using a limited subset of CSS directives. This class is designed as a stop-gap to deal with common CSS style patterns that aren't well-covered by existing borders. As time goes on this class will be enhanced to support more CSS styles. At present, it is used by the CSS compiler for compound borders. E.g. If one side has a different border style, color, or thickness than other sides.

The follow types of borders are well-supported with this class:

- border-radius - can support different x and y radii for each corner.

- border-width - can support different widths for each side.

- border-color - can support different colors for each side

- background-color

This class also supports background images and gradients, but these are not well-tested and are not currently used by the CSS compiler.
