          public final void quadTo(double x1,
                    double y1,
                    double x2,
                    double y2)

      Adds a curved segment, defined by two new points, to the path by drawing a Quadratic curve that intersects both the current coordinates and the specified coordinates `(x2,y2)`, using the specified point `(x1,y1)` as a quadratic parametric control point.

    - #### curveTo

          public final void curveTo(double x1,
                     double y1,
                     double x2,

      Adds a curved segment, defined by three new points, to the path by drawing a Bézier curve that intersects both the current coordinates and the specified coordinates `(x3,y3)`, using the specified points `(x1,y1)` and `(x2,y2)` as Bézier control points.

    - #### append

          public final void append(PathIterator pi,
                    boolean connect)

      Appends the geometry of the specified `PathIterator` object to the path, possibly connecting the new geometry to the existing path segments with a line segment. If the `connect` parameter is `true` and the path is not empty then any initial `moveTo` in the geometry of the appended `Shape` is turned into a `lineTo` segment. If the destination coordinates of such a connecting `lineTo` segment match the ending coordinates of a currently open subpath then the segment is omitted as superfluous. The winding rule of the specified `Shape` is ignored and the appended geometry is governed by the winding rule specified for this path.
      Specified by:
        `append` in class `Path2D`
      Parameters:
        `pi` - the `PathIterator` whose geometry is appended to this path
        `connect` - a boolean to control whether or not to turn an initial `moveTo` segment into a `lineTo` segment to connect the new geometry to the existing path
      Since:
        1.6

    - #### transform

          public final void transform(AffineTransform at)

      Transforms the geometry of this path using the specified `AffineTransform`. The geometry is transformed in place, which permanently changes the boundary defined by this object.
      Specified by:
        `transform` in class `Path2D`
      Parameters:
        `at` - the `AffineTransform` used to transform the area
      Since:
        1.6

    - #### getBounds2D

          public final Rectangle2D getBounds2D()

      Returns a high precision and more accurate bounding box of the `Shape` 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.
      Specified by:
        `getBounds2D` in interface `Shape`
      Returns:
        an instance of `Rectangle2D` that is a high-precision bounding box of the `Shape`.
      Since:
        1.6
      See Also:
        `Shape.getBounds()`

    - #### getPathIterator

          public PathIterator getPathIterator(AffineTransform at)

      Returns an iterator object that iterates along the `Shape` boundary and provides access to the geometry of the `Shape` outline. If an optional `AffineTransform` is specified, the coordinates returned in the iteration are transformed accordingly.

      Each call to this method returns a fresh `PathIterator` object that traverses the geometry of the `Shape` object independently from any other `PathIterator` objects in use at the same time.

      It is recommended, but not guaranteed, that objects implementing the `Shape` interface isolate iterations that are in process from any changes that might occur to the original object's geometry during such iterations.

      The iterator for this class is not multi-threaded safe, which means that the `Path2D` class does not guarantee that modifications to the geometry of this `Path2D` object do not affect any iterations of that geometry that are already in process.

      Specified by:
        `getPathIterator` in interface `Shape`
      Parameters:
        `at` - an `AffineTransform`
      Returns:
        a new `PathIterator` that iterates along the boundary of this `Shape` and provides access to the geometry of this `Shape`'s outline
      Since:
        1.6

    - #### clone

          public final Object clone()

      Creates a new object of the same class as this object.
      Specified by:
        `clone` in class `Path2D`
      Returns:
        a clone of this instance.
      Throws:
        `OutOfMemoryError` - if there is not enough memory.
      Since:
        1.6
      See Also:
        `Cloneable`
