[JAVA2D] Area.getPathIterator() question

[Ted Hill]

Hello,   I have an Area that I want to break down into discrete paths, for example, if I have an Area that looks like a doughnut, I want to extract two discrete paths from it. I do this by getting the PathIterator from the Area as follows:           PathIterator pi = myArea.getPathIterator(new AffineTransform(), 1.0);   Then I look at the segment type, e.g. SEG_LINETO, on each iteration to determine whether I should add the current point to my current path or start a new path.   When I iterate over the path iterator, I find many DUPLICATE CONSECUTIVE POINTS.   So if I build up a  GeneralPath from the points given to me by the PathIterator as follows:                     if(segmentType == PathIterator.SEG_LINETO)                 {                     myGenPath.lineTo((float)coords[0], (float)coords[1]);                 }   I wind up with a GeneralPath that looks fine when drawn on screen, however, examination shows that it can have many DUPLICATE CONSECUTIVE POINTS.   Is there some way to get a PathIterator from an Area that will not have duplicate consecutive points?   Thank you,   Ted Hill         =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
