All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, Shape

Direct Known Subclasses:

Ellipse2D.Double, Ellipse2D.Float

public abstract class Ellipse2D

extends RectangularShape

The Ellipse2D class describes an ellipse that is defined by a bounding rectangle.

This class is only the abstract superclass for all objects which store a 2D ellipse. The actual storage representation of the coordinates is left to the subclass.

Nested Class Summary
static class	Ellipse2D.Double     The Double class defines an ellipse specified in double precision.
static class	Ellipse2D.Float     The Float class defines an ellipse specified in float precision.

 

Constructor Summary
protected	Ellipse2D()     This is an abstract class that cannot be instantiated directly.

 

Method Summary
boolean	contains(double x, double y)     Tests if a specified point is inside the boundary of this Ellipse2D.
boolean	contains(double x, double y, double w, double h)     Tests if the interior of this Ellipse2D entirely contains the specified rectangular area.
PathIterator	getPathIterator(AffineTransform at)     Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of this Ellipse2D.
boolean	intersects(double x, double y, double w, double h)     Tests if the interior of this Ellipse2D intersects the interior of a specified rectangular area.
