Method Summary

ClippingRectangle	getBoundingBox() Returns the bounding box of this clipping shape.
BasicGraphicalElement	getGraphicalElement() Returns a basic graphical element (such as Rectangle or Polygon) which may be used by renderers to define the clipping shape for the output device.
boolean	isInside(GraphPoint point) Returns true if the specified point is inside this clipping shape.

Method Detail

isInside

public boolean isInside(GraphPoint point)

Returns true if the specified point is inside this clipping shape.

getBoundingBox

public ClippingRectangle getBoundingBox()

Returns the bounding box of this clipping shape. This method will be used by renderers who supports only rectangular clipping shapes.

getGraphicalElement

public BasicGraphicalElement getGraphicalElement()

Returns a basic graphical element (such as Rectangle or Polygon) which may be used by renderers to define the clipping shape for the output device.
