java.awt.geom
class GeneralPath

java.lang.Object extended by java.awt.geom.Path2D extended by java.awt.geom.Path2D.Float extended by java.awt.geom.GeneralPath
All Implemented Interfaces:
Shape, Serializable, Cloneable
Most common way to construct:

GeneralPath path = new GeneralPath();

Based on 299 examples 

public final class GeneralPath
extends Path2D.Float

The {@code GeneralPath} class represents a geometric path constructed from straight lines, and quadratic and cubic (Bézier) curves. It can contain multiple subpaths.

{@code GeneralPath} is a legacy final class which exactly implements the behavior of its superclass {@link Path2D.Float}. Together with {@link Path2D.Double}, the {@link Path2D} classes provide full implementations of a general geometric path that support all of the functionality of the {@link Shape} and {@link PathIterator} interfaces with the ability to explicitly select different levels of internal coordinate precision.

Use {@code Path2D.Float} (or this legacy {@code GeneralPath} subclass) when dealing with data that can be represented and used with floating point precision. Use {@code Path2D.Double} for data that requires the accuracy or range of double precision.

Constructor Detail

GeneralPath

public GeneralPath()
Constructs a new empty single precision {@code GeneralPath} object with a default winding rule of {@link #WIND_NON_ZERO}.

GeneralPath

public GeneralPath(int rule)
Constructs a new GeneralPath object with the specified winding rule to control operations that require the interior of the path to be defined.

Parameters:
rule - the winding rule

GeneralPath

public GeneralPath(int rule,
                   int initialCapacity)
Constructs a new GeneralPath object with the specified winding rule and the specified initial capacity to store path coordinates. This number is an initial guess as to how many path segments will be added to the path, but the storage is expanded as needed to store whatever path segments are added.

Parameters:
rule - the winding rule
initialCapacity - the estimate for the number of path segments in the path

GeneralPath

public GeneralPath(Shape s)
Constructs a new GeneralPath object from an arbitrary {@link Shape} object. All of the initial geometry and the winding rule for this path are taken from the specified Shape object.

Parameters:
s - the specified Shape object
