/**
 * The <code>Shape interface provides definitions for objects
 * that represent some form of geometric shape.  The <code>Shape
 * is described by a {@link PathIterator} object, which can express the
 * outline of the <code>Shape as well as a rule for determining
 * how the outline divides the 2D plane into interior and exterior
 * points.  Each <code>Shape 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, and retrieve a PathIterator
 * object that describes the trajectory path of the <code>Shape
 * outline.
 * <p>
 * <a name="def_insideness">Definition of insideness:
 * A point is considered to lie inside a
 * <code>Shape if and only if:
 * <ul>
 * <li> it lies completely
 * inside the<code>Shape boundary or
 * <li>
 * it lies exactly on the <code>Shape boundary and the
 * space immediately adjacent to the
 * point in the increasing <code>X direction is
 * entirely inside the boundary <i>or
 * <li>
 * it lies exactly on a horizontal boundary segment <b>and the
 * space immediately adjacent to the point in the
 * increasing <code>Y direction is inside the boundary.
 * </ul>
 * <p>The contains and intersects methods
 * consider the interior of a <code>Shape 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.
