e563. Setting the Bounds for a Maximized Frame

By default, when a frame is maximized, it is resized to cover the entire screen. This example demonstrates how to control the size and location of a frame when it is maximized:

    // Create frame
    Frame frame = new Frame();
    
    // Determine location and size of a maximized frame
    int x = 100;
    int y = 100;
    int width = 300;
    int height = 300;
    Rectangle bounds = new Rectangle(x, y, width, height);
    
    // Set the maximized bounds
    frame.setMaximizedBounds(bounds);
