All Implemented Interfaces:

```
public class IlvGeneralPath
extends IlvGraphic
implements IlvPolyPointsInterface
```
IlvGeneralPath is a graphic object that can take any two dimensional shape.
The shape of an IlvGeneralPath instance is controlled using a Java Shape instance; its fill and stroke styles are customized using Java Stroke and Paint objects; you can use gradient paint effects for IlvGeneralPath instances.

The default values for an IlvGeneralPath instance are as follows:
- Stroke: true
- Foreground/Stroke paint: Color.black
- Fill: false
- Background/Fill paint: Color.black
- Size and Position: Rectangle.Double(0,0,100,100)
Example

The following code example shows how to use IlvGeneralPath in a simple Java application:
```
  int DEFAULT_WIDTH = 70;
  int DEFAULT_HEIGHT = 30;
  IlvPoint corner = new IlvPoint(50,50);
  
  IlvManager manager = new IlvManager();
  //Create a customized circle.
  Shape shape = new Rectangle2D.Double(corner.x, corner.y,
      DEFAULT_WIDTH, DEFAULT_HEIGHT);
  IlvGeneralPath path = new IlvGeneralPath(shape);
  path.setFillPaint(
      new GradientPaint(
            new Point((int)corner.x + DEFAULT_WIDTH/2,
            (int)corner.y),
            Color.yellow,
            new Point((int)corner.x + DEFAULT_WIDTH/2,
            (int)corner.y + DEFAULT_HEIGHT),
            Color.red));
  path.setStrokePaint(Color.blue);
  
  //Add the graphic objects to the manager.
  manager.addObject(path,true);
 
```

About Graphic Objects

IlvGeneralPath is a custom graphic object, that is, a subclass of IlvGraphic. Graphic objects are controlled using an instance of IlvManager or one of its subclasses, and displayed using one or more IlvManagerView instances in a Java Swing application. For information about generic features for graphic objects, see IlvGraphic.

    IlvReadFileException - if the format is not correct.
- Method Detail
  - getShape
```
public Shape getShape()
```
    Returns the shape of the object. You should not modify the shape of the object directly because this may modify the bounding rectangle of the IlvGeneralPath. If you need to change the shape of the object, use the setShape method.
    
    See Also:
    
    setShape(java.awt.Shape), getOriginalShape()
  - setShape
```
public void setShape(Shape shape)
```
    Changes the shape of the object.
    Note that the semantics of this method depends on the transformed shape mode, see setTransformedShapeMode(boolean).
    Note also that changing the shape of the object may change its bounding rectangle. For this reason, if the object is contained inside a manager you should modify the shape using the applyToObject method of the manager.

  - setAlpha
```
public void setAlpha(float alpha)
```
    Changes the alpha value of this graphic object. The alpha composition value is used to render the graphic object in a transparent way. The value must be in the range of [0.0, 1.0], the value of 1 meaning that the graphic object is not transparent.
    If the containers of the graphic object (manager layer, graphic set) have their own alpha value, the object draws with a composed alpha value.
    The default value is 1.
    
    Parameters:
    
    alpha - The new transparency level in the range [0.0, 1.0].

  - adaptPaint
```
protected Paint adaptPaint(Shape shape,
                           Paint paint)
```
    Returns a new Paint object that will fit the shape parameter according to the initial paint parameter. This method is called only if isPaintAbsolute() returns false. By default, it deals with GradientPaint and TexturePaint instances to adapt them correctly because they do not automatically fit the shape of the object on which they are drawn. You can override this method to manage your own Paint subclasses if they do not take the shape of the object into account. You will generally call the superclass method for GradientPaint and TexturePaint instances. Other Paint objects deriving from IlvMultipleGradientPaint automatically take into account the shape of the object if their IlvMultipleGradientPaint.isAdapting() method returns true and thus are not modified by this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    shape - The shape parameter that the returned Paint should fit.
    
    paint - The initial Paint object.

```
    Tests if a point lies within the shape.
    
    Overrides:
    
    contains in class IlvGraphic
    
    Parameters:
    
    p - The point to be tested.
    
    tp - The point p transformed by the transformer t.

```
public IlvRect boundingBox(IlvTransformer t)

    Returns the bounding rectangle of the Shape of the object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    t - The transformer used to draw the object.

```
public IlvPoint getIntersectionWithOutline(IlvPoint innerPoint,
                                           IlvPoint outerPoint,
                                           IlvTransformer t)
```
    Returns the intersection of the line segment from inner point to outer point with the shape of the graphic object. This method is used to clip links against the shape of the node. The implementation of this method must be robust with respect to the input points: Even if innerPoint is not inside the graphic object, or if outerPoint is not outside the graphic object, it must return a valid point. For instance, if there is no intersection, it can return the start point.
    This implementation works precise if the stroke is off or if the stroke is a basic stroke with small stroke size. If the stroke is not a basic stroke, the stroke width cannot be determined and a stroke width 0 is assumed.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getIntersectionWithOutline in class IlvGraphic
    
    Parameters:
    
    innerPoint - A point usually inside the graphic object, given in manager view coordinates.
    
    outerPoint - A point usually outside of the graphic object, given in manager view coordinates.
    
    t - The transformation used to draw the object.

                        IlvTransformer t)
```
    Removes a point from the IlvGeneralPath if allowsPointRemoval returns true.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removePoint in interface IlvPolyPointsInterface
    
    Parameters:

  - setTransformedShapeMode
```
public void setTransformedShapeMode(boolean transformedShapeMode)
```
    Sets the transformed shape mode. If the transformed shape mode is enabled, the method setShape(java.awt.Shape) receives a shape in a coordinate system independent from the current position. That is, the shape is automatically transformed according to the current position of the object.
    If the transformed shape mode is disabled, the method setShape(java.awt.Shape) receives a shape in a coordinate system dependent from the current position.
    The difference is visible if you set a shape after moving the node:
```
 IlvGeneralPath gp = new IlvGeneralPath(shape);
 gp.move(100,100);
 gp.setShape(shape);
 
```
    In transformed shape mode, resetting the original shape does not move the node back to the original position. In untransformed mode, it moves the node back to the original position.
    Note that the method getShape() always returns the transformed shape in the coordinate system dependent from the current position. That is, the following statement affects the shape in transformed shape mode, while it has no effect in untransformed shape mode:
```
 gp.setShape(gp.getShape());
 
```
    The same observation about the shape holds also for the clip (see setClip(java.awt.Shape)). If IlvGeneralPath is specified by CSS, it is recommended to use the transformed shape mode.
    Parameters:
    
    transformedShapeMode - If true, the transformer shape mode is enabled.

  - getApplyTransformer
```
public IlvTransformer getApplyTransformer()
```
    Returns the internal transformer that represents the sum of all calls of applyTransform(ilog.views.IlvTransformer) since the shape of the general path was set. It can return null to represent the identity transform.

    getOriginalShape()
  - getOriginalShape
```
public Shape getOriginalShape()
```
    Returns the original shape that was set via setShape(java.awt.Shape). The relationship between the original shape and the current shape can as approximation be described by the following formula (which is not legal Java code, but just a sketch):
```
 getShape() == getApplyTransformer().apply(getOriginalShape());
 
```
    You should not modify the shape of the object directly. If you need to change the shape of the object, use the setShape method.
