/**
* 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 {@code PathIterator}
* object that describes the trajectory path of the {@code Shape}
* outline.
* <p>
* <a id="def_insideness"><b>Definition of insideness:</b></a>
* A point is considered to lie inside a
* {@code Shape} if and only if:
* <ul>
* <li> it lies completely
* inside the {@code Shape} boundary <i>or</i>
* <li>
* it lies exactly on the {@code Shape} boundary <i>and</i> the
* space immediately adjacent to the
* point in the increasing {@code X} 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} direction is inside the boundary.
* </ul>
* <p>The {@code contains} and {@code 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.
