Class RectangularShape

    java.lang.Object
      java.awt.geom.RectangularShape

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable, Shape

Direct Known Subclasses:
  Arc2D, Ellipse2D, Rectangle2D, RoundRectangle2D

public abstract class RectangularShape
extends Object
implements Shape, Cloneable

`RectangularShape` is the base class for a number of `Shape` objects whose geometry is defined by a rectangular frame. This class does not directly specify any specific geometry by itself, but merely provides manipulation methods inherited by a whole category of `Shape` objects. The manipulation methods provided by this class can be used to query and modify the rectangular frame, which provides a reference for the subclasses to define their geometry.

  Specified by:
    `getPathIterator` in interface `Shape`
  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.
