public class Polygon extends Object implements Shape, Serializable
Polygon
class encapsulates a description of a
closed, two-dimensional region within a coordinate space. This
region is bounded by an arbitrary number of line segments, each of
which is one side of the polygon. Internally, a polygon
comprises of a list of (x,y)
coordinate pairs, where each pair defines a vertex of the
polygon, and two successive pairs are the endpoints of a
line that is a side of the polygon. The first and final
pairs of (x,y)
points are joined by a line segment
that closes the polygon. This Polygon
is defined with
an even-odd winding rule. See
WIND_EVEN_ODD
for a definition of the even-odd winding rule.
This class's hit-testing methods, which include the
contains
, intersects
and inside
methods, use the insideness definition described in the
Shape
class comments.Shape

object to an empty polygon.
The coordinate arrays and the data in them are left untouched
but the number of points is reset to zero to mark the old
vertex data as invalid and to start accumulating new vertex
data at the beginning.
All internally-cached data relating to the old vertices
are discarded.
Note that since the coordinate arrays from before the reset
are reused, creating a new empty Polygon
might
be more memory efficient than resetting the current one if
the number of vertices in the new polygon data is significantly
smaller than the number of vertices in the data from before the
reset.invalidate()

This method should be called after any direct manipulation
of the coordinates in the xpoints

than the getBounds
method.
Note that there is no guarantee that the returned
Rectangle2D
is the smallest bounding box that encloses
the Shape
, only that the Shape
lies
entirely within the indicated Rectangle2D
. The
bounding box returned by this method is usually tighter than that
returned by the getBounds
method and never fails due
to overflow problems since the return value can be an instance of
the Rectangle2D
that uses double precision values to
store the dimensions.
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 Rectangle2D
bounds object according
to the contains(point)
method of the
bounds
. Specifically:
shape.contains(p)
requires bounds.contains(p)
If a point
is not inside the shape
, then it might
still be contained in the bounds
object:
bounds.contains(p)
does not imply shape.contains(p)
