-     public final class IndexRange
      extends Object

  Class representing a contiguous range of integral values.
  Since:
    JavaFX 2.0

- - ### Field Summary

    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `static String` | `VALUE_DELIMITER` | Index range value delimiter.

  - ### Constructor Summary

    Constructors
    Constructor | Description
    --- | ---
    `IndexRange​(int start, int end)` | Creates an instance of IndexRange representing the range between `start` and `end`.
    `IndexRange​(IndexRange range)` | Creates an instance of IndexRange by copying the values from the given IndexRange object.

  - ### Method Summary

    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `boolean` | `equals​(Object object)` | Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
    `int` | `getEnd()` | Returns the end position of the range (exclusive).
    `int` | `getLength()` | Returns the length of the range.
    `int` | `getStart()` | Returns the start position of the range.
    `int` | `hashCode()` | Returns a hash code for this `Range` object.
    `static IndexRange` | `normalize​(int v1, int v2)` | Convenience method to create an IndexRange instance that has the smaller value as the start index, and the larger value as the end index.
    `String` | `toString()` | Returns a string representation of this `Range` object.
    `static IndexRange` | `valueOf​(String value)` | Convenience method to parse in a String of the form '2,6', which will create an IndexRange instance with a start value of 2, and an end value of 6.

    - #### IndexRange

          public IndexRange​(IndexRange range)

      Creates an instance of IndexRange by copying the values from the given IndexRange object.
      Parameters:
        `range` - The IndexRange instance from which to copy the start and end values.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getStart

          public int getStart()

      Returns the start position of the range.
      Returns:
        the start position of the range

    - #### getEnd

          public int getEnd()

      Returns the end position of the range (exclusive).
      Returns:
        the end position of the range (exclusive)

    - #### getLength

          public int getLength()

      Returns the length of the range.
      Returns:
        the length of the range

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals​(Object object)

      Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`
      Parameters:
        `object` - the reference object with which to compare.
      Returns:
        `true` if this object is equal to the `object` argument; `false` otherwise.

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Returns a hash code for this `Range` object.
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a hash code for this `Range` object.

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Returns a string representation of this `Range` object.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a string representation of this `Range` object.

    - #### normalize

          public static IndexRange normalize​(int v1,
                                             int v2)

      Convenience method to create an IndexRange instance that has the smaller value as the start index, and the larger value as the end index.
      Parameters:
        `v1` - The first value to use in the range.
        `v2` - The second value to use in the range.
      Returns:
        A IndexRange instance where the smaller value is the start, and the larger value is the end.

    - #### valueOf

          public static IndexRange valueOf​(String value)

      Convenience method to parse in a String of the form '2,6', which will create an IndexRange instance with a start value of 2, and an end value of 6.
      Parameters:
        `value` - The string to be parsed, and converted to an IndexRange.
      Returns:
        An IndexRange instance representing the start and end values provided in the value string.
