Appending circle shape to Path2D

Question

So, to append a rectangle to a Path, you can do this

    Path2D rect = new Path2D.Double();
    rect.append(new Rectangle(10, 10, 100, 10), true);

What I want to do is something like this:

    Path2D circ = new Path2D.Double();
    circ.append(new Circle(... params) true);

Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

Answer 1

You would use an Ellipse2D and give it symmetric parameters.

e.g..,

circ.append(new Ellipse2D.Double(x, y, w, h), true); // where w == h
