<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
-
+ An interface implemented by objects which have onscreen visual
+ representations.
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
-
+ The Component interface is implemented by objects which occupy on-screen
+ space, e.g. objects which have onscreen visual representations. The methods
+ in Component allow clients to identify where the objects lie in the onscreen
+ coordinate system, their relative size, stacking order, and position. It
+ also provides a mechanism whereby keyboard focus may be transferred to
+ specific user interface elements programmatically. This is a 2D API.
+ Coordinates of 3D objects are projected into the 2-dimensional screen view
+ for purposes of this interface.
