ShapeNormalizer

The ShapeNormalizer class converts a Shape to a list of simple Shapes^[1]

Bezier Curves will be converted to list of Arcs

• Lines
• Arcs
• Polygon2D instances
• Polyline2D instances
• Ellipse2D

The class uses internally a CurveConverter to convert CubicCurve or QuadCurve shapes. Note that this class correctly takes into account disconnected paths in the Shape.

Algorithm

The class will try to approximate each CubicCurve and QuadCurve to:

• A line if the curve is flat
• The closest Arc if the curve is not flat

Example

Suppose the following GeneralPath constructed with a series of moveTo, lineTo, and curveTo:

After conversion, we have the following result (in red superposed to the original shape):
