Thanks. Actually I forgot to mention that I previously had used Area but had some issues with performance. It seems like a bit of overkill for this problem, since the path of interest is already calculated as part of stroking. But I doubt there is a better solution unless I reimplement part of BasicStroke, which I'm not going to do :-)
Thanks again, Chris p.s. This is for http://tonicsystems.com/products/viewer/ a free PowerPoint viewer which uses Java2D *very* heavily. Expanding a shape is necessary for shadowed+filled shapes with complex strokes (e.g. dashed or triple-line)--the cast shadow is as if the shape had a solid stroke. I assume MSFT did it that way because it was easier to implement, which made me think there might be some tricky fast way. On 7/17/06, Jim Graham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
You can use the Area class to add in the original Shape:
