public abstract class RectangularShape
extends Object
implements Shape, Cloneable

RectangularShape is the base class for a number of Shape objects whose geometry is defined by a rectangular frame. This class does not directly specify any specific geometry by itself, but merely provides manipulation methods inherited by a whole category of Shape objects. The manipulation methods provided by this class can be used to query and modify the rectangular frame, which provides a reference for the subclasses to define their geometry.

Only SEG_MOVETO, SEG_LINETO, and SEG_CLOSE point types will be returned by the iterator.

The amount of subdivision of the curved segments is controlled by the flatness parameter, which specifies the maximum distance that any point on the unflattened transformed curve can deviate from the returned flattened path segments. An optional AffineTransform can be specified so that the coordinates returned in the iteration are transformed accordingly.

Specified by:

Parameters:
at - an optional AffineTransform to be applied to the coordinates as they are returned in the iteration, or null if untransformed coordinates are desired.
flatness - the maximum distance that the line segments used to approximate the curved segments are allowed to deviate from any point on the original curve
