Interface java.awt.Shape

public interface Shape
The interface for objects which represent some form of geometric shape.

This interface will be revised in the upcoming Java2D project. It is meant to provide a common interface for various existing geometric AWT classes and methods which operate on them. Since it may be superseded or expanded in the future, developers should avoid implementing this interface in their own classes until it is completed in a later release.
