  Returns an integer Rectangle that completely encloses the Shape.

  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

the limited range of the integer data type. The
getBounds2D method generally returns a
tighter bounding box due to its greater flexibility in
representation.

Only SEG_MOVETO, SEG_LINETO, and SEG_CLOSE point types will be returned by the iterator.

  Tests if the interior of the Shape intersects the interior of a specified Rectangle2D.

  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.
