Insets are not a rectangle. Rather the space surrounding one. So, a figure
of size 50, 50 with a line border of 1 would mean the figure's insets are 1,
1, 1, 1 (for all 4 directions). And that means the figure's client area's
size is 48x48. The concept of Insets in draw2d is the same as in AWT. You
can look that up to see if it makes more sense to you (it might be better
documented that draw2d).
