Interface IMultiShape

  • All Superinterfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable, IGeometry, java.io.Serializable
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    Region, Ring

    public interface IMultiShape
    extends IGeometry

    In contradiction to the relation of the IPolyCurve to the ICurve interfaces, the IMultiShape interface does not extend the IShape interface. Anyhow, they share their interface methods. You can test an IGeometry for containment using the contains(IGeometry) method and the outline segments can be retrieved via the getOutlineSegments() method.

    • Method Detail

      • getOutlines

        ICurve[] getOutlines()

        Computes the outlines of this IMultiShape.

        The outlines are returned as an array of ICurves. For every closed outline of this IMultiShape one ICurve is returned.

        Returns:
        an array of ICurves, one for each closed outline
      • getOutlineSegments

        ICurve[] getOutlineSegments()

        Computes the outline segments of this IMultiShape.

        Each ICurve segment of the outline of the internal IShape s can be either an inner segment or an outer segment. This method extracts only the outer segments. The segments bordering voids are considered to be outer segments, too.

        Returns:
        the outline segments of this IMultiShape
