Let's see if anyone can help me with this... I am trying to create a GeometryInfo object from a Shape, more precisely from an Area. To do this I use a PathIterator. The question is: when a new subpath starts (SEG_MOVETO) how do I know whether this new contour is a hole in the current polygon or a new polygon? Say the shape is an exclamation mark "! ", its area has two contours, but they are independent so contourCount = {1,1} If the shape is "O ", the area still has two contours, the outline and the hole, but contourCount = {2} How can I decide which case it is just by looking at the values of the PathIterator?
