Point2D is abstract class, Variable of this class capable to hold the reference of subclass (Point, Point2D.Double, Point2D.Float). For example.

java.awt.Point Example

import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
import java.awt.Point;
public class Example
{
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // Create an instance
        Point2D point = new Point(50, 60);
        System.out.println(point);
    }
}

java.awt.Point[x=50,y=60]

java.awt.geom.Point2D.Float Example

import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
public class Example
{
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // Create an instance using Point2D.Float
        Point2D point = new Point2D.Float(15.3f, 40.4f);
        System.out.println(point);
    }
}

Point2D.Float[15.3, 40.4]

java.awt.geom.Point2D.Double Example

import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
public class Example
{
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        // Create an instance using Point2D.Double
        Point2D point = new Point2D.Double(50.20, 60.55);
        System.out.println(point);
    }
}

Point2D.Double[50.2, 60.55]

java.awt.geom.Point2D clone() method example

// clone() method in java.awt.geom.Point2D class 
// Useful packages
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        // Create Instance
        Point2D.Double  p1 = new Point2D.Double(30.20, 50.35);
        Object   p2 = p1.clone();
        
        // After clone Display result 
        System.out.println(p1);
        System.out.println(p2);

        // Change value
        p1.x = 999.20;

        // After update Display result 
        System.out.println(p1);
        System.out.println(p2);
    }
}

Point2D.Double[30.2, 50.35]
Point2D.Double[30.2, 50.35]
Point2D.Double[999.2, 50.35]
Point2D.Double[30.2, 50.35]
