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 the Shape 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 in interface Shape

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 the Shape 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:

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.

                        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 rectangular 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 the Shape 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 in interface Shape

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 the Shape 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 in interface Shape

Parameters:

r - The specified Rectangle2D

Returns:

true if the interior of the Shape entirely contains the Rectangle2D; false otherwise or, if the Shape contains the Rectangle2D and the intersects method returns true and the containment calculations would be too expensive to perform.

getBounds

public Rectangle getBounds()

Returns an integer Rectangle that completely encloses the Shape. 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.

Note that the definition of insideness can lead to situations where points on the defining outline of the shape may not be considered contained in the returned bounds object, but only in cases where those points are also not considered contained in the original shape.

If a point is inside the shape according to the contains(point) method, then it must be inside the returned Rectangle bounds object according to the contains(point) method of the bounds. Specifically:

shape.contains(x,y) requires bounds.contains(x,y)

If a point is not inside the shape, then it might still be contained in the bounds object:

bounds.contains(x,y) does not imply shape.contains(x,y)

Specified by:

getBounds in interface Shape

Returns:

an integer Rectangle that completely encloses the Shape.
