/**
* The PathIterator interface provides the mechanism
* for objects that implement the {@link java.awt.Shape Shape}
* interface to return the geometry of their boundary by allowing
* a caller to retrieve the path of that boundary a segment at a
* time. This interface allows these objects to retrieve the path of
* their boundary a segment at a time by using 1st through 3rd order
* Bézier curves, which are lines and quadratic or cubic
* Bézier splines.
*
* Multiple subpaths can be expressed by using a "MOVETO" segment to
* create a discontinuity in the geometry to move from the end of
* one subpath to the beginning of the next.
*
* Each subpath can be closed manually by ending the last segment in
* the subpath on the same coordinate as the beginning "MOVETO" segment
* for that subpath or by using a "CLOSE" segment to append a line
* segment from the last point back to the first.
* Be aware that manually closing an outline as opposed to using a
* "CLOSE" segment to close the path might result in different line
* style decorations being used at the end points of the subpath.
* For example, the {@link java.awt.BasicStroke BasicStroke} object
* uses a line "JOIN" decoration to connect the first and last points
* if a "CLOSE" segment is encountered, whereas simply ending the path
* on the same coordinate as the beginning coordinate results in line
* "CAP" decorations being used at the ends.
*
