1.2

intersects

public boolean intersects(double x, double y, double w, double h)

Tests if the interior of the Shape intersects the interior of a specified rectangular area. The rectangular area is considered to intersect the Shape if any point is contained in both the interior of the Shape and the specified rectangular area.

The Shape.intersects() method allows a Shape implementation to conservatively return true when:

• there is a high probability that the rectangular area and theShape intersect, but
• the calculations to accurately determine this intersection are prohibitively expensive. This means that for some Shapes this method might return true even though the rectangular area does not intersect the Shape. The Area class performs more accurate computations of geometric intersection than most Shape objects and therefore can be used if a more precise answer is required.

Specified by:

[intersects](../../../java/awt/Shape.html#intersects%28double, double, double, double%29) in interface [Shape](../../../java/awt/Shape.html "interface in java.awt")

Parameters:

x - the X coordinate of the upper-left corner of the specified rectangular area

y - the Y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the specified rectangular area

w - the width of the specified rectangular area

h - the height of the specified rectangular area

Returns:

true if the interior of the Shape and the interior of the rectangular area intersect, or are both highly likely to intersect and intersection calculations would be too expensive to perform; false otherwise.

intersects

public boolean intersects(Rectangle2D r)

Tests if the interior of the Shape intersects the interior of a specified Rectangle2D. The Shape.intersects() method allows a Shape implementation to conservatively return true when:

• there is a high probability that the Rectangle2D and theShape intersect, but
• the calculations to accurately determine this intersection are prohibitively expensive. This means that for some Shapes this method might return true even though the Rectangle2D does not intersect the Shape. The Area class performs more accurate computations of geometric intersection than most Shape objects and therefore can be used if a more precise answer is required.

Specified by:

[intersects](../../../java/awt/Shape.html#intersects%28java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D%29) in interface [Shape](../../../java/awt/Shape.html "interface in java.awt")

Parameters:

r - the specified Rectangle2D

Returns:

true if the interior of the Shape and the interior of the specified Rectangle2D intersect, or are both highly likely to intersect and intersection calculations would be too expensive to perform; false otherwise.

contains

public boolean contains(double x, double y, double w, double h)

Tests if the interior of the Shape entirely contains the specified rectangular area. All coordinates that lie inside the rectangular area must lie within the Shape for the entire rectanglar area to be considered contained within the Shape.

The Shape.contains() method allows a Shape implementation to conservatively return false when:

• the intersect method returns true and
• the calculations to determine whether or not theShape entirely contains the rectangular area are prohibitively expensive. This means that for some Shapes this method might return false even though the Shape contains the rectangular area. The Area class performs more accurate geometric computations than most Shape objects and therefore can be used if a more precise answer is required.

Specified by:

[contains](../../../java/awt/Shape.html#contains%28double, double, double, double%29) in interface [Shape](../../../java/awt/Shape.html "interface in java.awt")

Parameters:

x - the X coordinate of the upper-left corner of the specified rectangular area

y - the Y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the specified rectangular area

w - the width of the specified rectangular area

h - the height of the specified rectangular area

Returns:

true if the interior of the Shape entirely contains the specified rectangular area;false otherwise or, if the Shape contains the rectangular area and the intersects method returns true and the containment calculations would be too expensive to perform.

public boolean contains(Rectangle2D r)

Tests if the interior of the Shape entirely contains the specified Rectangle2D. The Shape.contains() method allows a Shape implementation to conservatively return false when:

• the intersect method returns true and
• the calculations to determine whether or not theShape entirely contains the Rectangle2D are prohibitively expensive. This means that for some Shapes this method might return false even though the Shape contains the Rectangle2D. The Area class performs more accurate geometric computations than most Shape objects and therefore can be used if a more precise answer is required.

Specified by:

[contains](../../../java/awt/Shape.html#contains%28java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D%29) in interface [Shape](../../../java/awt/Shape.html "interface in java.awt")

Parameters:

r - The specified Rectangle2D

getBounds

public Rectangle getBounds()

Returns an integer Rectangle that completely encloses theShape. Note that there is no guarantee that the returned Rectangle is the smallest bounding box that encloses the Shape, only that the Shape lies entirely within the indicated Rectangle. The returned Rectangle might also fail to completely enclose the Shape if the Shape overflows the limited range of the integer data type. The getBounds2D method generally returns a tighter bounding box due to its greater flexibility in representation.

Specified by:

Returns:

an integer Rectangle that completely encloses the Shape.
