public abstract class Ellipse2D extends RectangularShape
Ellipse2D class describes an ellipse that is defined
 by a framing rectangle.
 This class is only the abstract superclass for all objects which store a 2D ellipse. The actual storage representation of the coordinates is left to the subclass.

Shape intersects the
 interior of a specified rectangular area.
 The rectangular area is considered to intersect the Shape
 if any point is contained in both the interior of the
 Shape and the specified rectangular area.
 
 The Shape.intersects() method allows a Shape
 implementation to conservatively return true when:
 
Shape intersect, but
 Shapes this method might
 return true even though the rectangular area does not
 intersect the Shape.
 The Area class performs
 more accurate computations of geometric intersection than most
 Shape objects and therefore can be used if a more precise
 answer is required.x - the X coordinate of the upper-left corner
          of the specified rectangular areay - the Y coordinate of the upper-left corner

          the interior of the rectangular area intersect, or are
          both highly likely to intersect and intersection calculations
          would be too expensive to perform; false otherwise.Areapublic boolean contains(double x,

                        double h)
Shape entirely contains
 the specified rectangular area.  All coordinates that lie inside
 the rectangular area must lie within the Shape for the
 entire rectangular area to be considered contained within the
 Shape.
 
 The Shape.contains() method allows a Shape
 implementation to conservatively return false when:
 
intersect method returns true and
 Shape entirely contains the rectangular area are
 prohibitively expensive.
 Shapes this method might
 return false even though the Shape contains
 the rectangular area.

Ellipse2D.
 The iterator for this class is multi-threaded safe, which means
 that this Ellipse2D class guarantees that
 modifications to the geometry of this Ellipse2D
 object do not affect any iterations of that geometry that
 are already in process.at - an optional AffineTransform to be applied to
 the coordinates as they are returned in the iteration, or

Object is
 equal to this Ellipse2D.  The specified
 Object is equal to this Ellipse2D
 if it is an instance of Ellipse2D and if its
