GeneralPath Example
This applet uses the GeneralPath class. This class represents a geometric path constructed from straight lines, and curves. It can also contain multiple subpaths.
It has instance methods such as lineTo() and quadTo() that constructs a path from the current point to a new point using a straight line or quadratic curve, as appropriate.
The applet uses GeneralPath to define a star.
