Ok, I think I figured it out....at least a solution that works for me and is
described above and here is some example code:
[code]
// Original rounded rectangle
RoundRectangle2D roundedRectangle = new RoundRectangle2D.Double(x, y,
width, height, arc, arc);
// Fill original rectangle first in orange
g2.setColor(Color.orange);
g2.fill(rect);
// Create a mask of the desired width that will be used to get the cut out
of the shape
// I want to make gray ... in this case, I chose width/4 (or 25%) of the
width to use
// as the mask
Rectangle2D mask = new Rectangle2D.Double(x, y, width/4.0, height);
// Create an area of the original rounded rectangle
Area area1 = new Area(roundedRectangle);
// Create an area for the mask
Area area2 = new Area(mask);
// Get the intersection of the two Area objects and then draw it...this
returns the first
// 25% of the rounded rectangle, since both the mask and the rectangle were
given
// the same initial coordinates, but the mask was only drawn over 25% of
the width
// of the original rounded rectangle
area1.intersect(area2);
// Fill the resulting area with a gray color and since it is drawn last it
will
// be drawn on top of the image
g2.setColor(Color.gray);
g2.fill(area1);
[/code]
