The Ellipse2D class describes an ellipse that is defined
by a bounding rectangle.
This class is only the abstract superclass for all objects which
store a 2D ellipse.
The actual storage representation of the coordinates is left to
the subclass.
Inner Class Summary
static class
Ellipse2D.Double
The Double class defines an ellipse specified
in double precision.
static class
Ellipse2D.Float
The Float class defines an ellipse specified
in float precision.
Constructor Summary
protected
Ellipse2D()
This is an abstract class that cannot be instantiated directly.
Method Summary
boolean
contains(double x,
double y)
Tests if a specified point is inside the boundary of this
Ellipse2D.
boolean
contains(double x,
double y,
double w,
double h)
Tests if the interior of this Ellipse2D entirely
contains the specified rectangular area.
This is an abstract class that cannot be instantiated directly.
Type-specific implementation subclasses are available for
instantiation and provide a number of formats for storing
the information necessary to satisfy the various accessor
methods below.
Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of this
Ellipse2D.
The iterator for this class is multi-threaded safe, which means
that this Ellipse2D class guarantees that
modifications to the geometry of this Ellipse2D
object do not affect any iterations of that geometry that
are already in process.
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
Returns:
the PathIterator object that returns the
geometry of the outline of this Ellipse2D,
one segment at a time.
