/**
* The <code>Shape</code> interface provides definitions for objects
* that represent some form of geometric shape. The <code>Shape</code>
* is described by a {@link PathIterator} object, which can express the
* outline of the <code>Shape</code> as well as a rule for determining
* how the outline divides the 2D plane into interior and exterior
* points. Each <code>Shape</code> object provides callbacks to get the
* bounding box of the geometry, determine whether points or
* rectangles lie partly or entirely within the interior
* of the <code>Shape</code>, and retrieve a <code>PathIterator</code>
* object that describes the trajectory path of the <code>Shape</code>
* outline.
* <p>
* <b>Definition of insideness:</b>
* A point is considered to lie inside a
* <code>Shape</code> if and only if:
* <ul>
* <li> it lies completely
* inside the<code>Shape</code> boundary <i>or</i>
* <li>
* it lies exactly on the <code>Shape</code> boundary <i>and</i> the
* space immediately adjacent to the
* point in the increasing <code>X</code> direction is
* entirely inside the boundary <i>or</i>
* <li>
* it lies exactly on a horizontal boundary segment <b>and</b> the
* space immediately adjacent to the point in the
* increasing <code>Y</code> direction is inside the boundary.
* </ul>
* <p>The <code>contains</code> and <code>intersects</code> methods
* consider the interior of a <code>Shape</code> to be the area it
* encloses as if it were filled. This means that these methods
* consider
* unclosed shapes to be implicitly closed for the purpose of
* determining if a shape contains or intersects a rectangle or if a
* shape contains a point.
