    public abstract class Shape
    extends Node

The `Shape` class provides definitions of common properties for objects that represent some form of geometric shape. These properties include:

- The `Paint` to be applied to the fillable interior of the shape (see `setFill`).
- The `Paint` to be applied to stroke the outline of the shape (see `setStroke`).
- The decorative properties of the stroke, including:
  - The width of the border stroke.
  - Whether the border is drawn as an exterior padding to the edges of the shape, as an interior edging that follows the inside of the border, or as a wide path that follows along the border straddling it equally both inside and outside (see `StrokeType`).
  - Decoration styles for the joins between path segments and the unclosed ends of paths.
  - Dashing attributes.

An application should not extend the Shape class directly. Doing so may lead to an UnsupportedOperationException being thrown.

## Interaction with coordinate systems

Most nodes tend to have only integer translations applied to them and quite often they are defined using integer coordinates as well. For this common case, fills of shapes with straight line edges tend to be crisp since they line up with the cracks between pixels that fall on integer device coordinates and thus tend to naturally cover entire pixels.

On the other hand, stroking those same shapes can often lead to fuzzy outlines because the default stroking attributes specify both that the default stroke width is 1.0 coordinates which often maps to exactly 1 device pixel and also that the stroke should straddle the border of the shape, falling half on either side of the border. Since the borders in many common shapes tend to fall directly on integer coordinates and those integer coordinates often map precisely to integer device locations, the borders tend to result in 50% coverage over the pixel rows and columns on either side of the border of the shape rather than 100% coverage on one or the other. Thus, fills may typically be crisp, but strokes are often fuzzy.

Two common solutions to avoid these fuzzy outlines are to use wider strokes that cover more pixels completely - typically a stroke width of 2.0 will achieve this if there are no scale transforms in effect - or to specify either the `StrokeType.INSIDE` or `StrokeType.OUTSIDE` stroke styles - which will bias the default single unit stroke onto one of the full pixel rows or columns just inside or outside the border of the shape.

    Default value:
      0

  - ### getStrokeDashOffset

    public final double getStrokeDashOffset()
    Gets the value of the property strokeDashOffset.
    Property description:
      Defines a distance specified in user coordinates that represents an offset into the dashing pattern. In other words, the dash phase defines the point in the dashing pattern that will correspond to the beginning of the stroke.

      The image shows a stroke with dash array `[25, 20, 5, 20]` and a stroke with the same pattern and offset `45` which shifts the pattern about the length of the first dash segment and the following space.

  - ### strokeDashOffsetProperty

    public final DoubleProperty strokeDashOffsetProperty()
    Defines a distance specified in user coordinates that represents an offset into the dashing pattern. In other words, the dash phase defines the point in the dashing pattern that will correspond to the beginning of the stroke.

      0
    See Also:
      `getStrokeDashOffset()`, `setStrokeDashOffset(double)`

  - ### getStrokeDashArray

    public final ObservableList<Double> getStrokeDashArray()
    Defines the array representing the lengths of the dash segments. Alternate entries in the array represent the user space lengths of the opaque and transparent segments of the dashes. As the pen moves along the outline of the `Shape` to be stroked, the user space distance that the pen travels is accumulated. The distance value is used to index into the dash array. The pen is opaque when its current cumulative distance maps to an even element of the dash array (counting from `0`) and transparent otherwise.

    An empty strokeDashArray indicates a solid line with no spaces. An odd length strokeDashArray behaves the same as an even length array constructed by implicitly repeating the indicated odd length array twice in succession (`[20, 5, 15]` behaves as if it were `[20, 5, 15, 20, 5, 15]`).

    Note that each dash segment will be capped by the decoration specified by the current stroke line cap.

    The image shows a shape with stroke dash array `[25, 20, 5, 20]` and 3 different values for the stroke line cap: `StrokeLineCap.BUTT`, `StrokeLineCap.SQUARE` (the default), and `StrokeLineCap.ROUND`

  - ### getClassCssMetaData

    public static List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,​?>> getClassCssMetaData()
    Returns:
      The CssMetaData associated with this class, which may include the CssMetaData of its superclasses.
    Since:
      JavaFX 8.0

  - ### getCssMetaData

    public List<CssMetaData<? extends Styleable,​?>> getCssMetaData()
    This method should delegate to `Node.getClassCssMetaData()` so that a Node's CssMetaData can be accessed without the need for reflection.
    Specified by:
      `getCssMetaData` in interface `Styleable`
    Overrides:
      `getCssMetaData` in class `Node`
    Returns:
      The CssMetaData associated with this node, which may include the CssMetaData of its superclasses.
    Since:
      JavaFX 8.0

  - ### union

    public static Shape union​(Shape shape1, Shape shape2)
    Returns a new `Shape` which is created as a union of the specified input shapes.

    The operation works with geometric areas occupied by the input shapes. For a single `Shape` such area includes the area occupied by the fill if the shape has a non-null fill and the area occupied by the stroke if the shape has a non-null stroke. So the area is empty for a shape with `null` stroke and `null` fill. The area of an input shape considered by the operation is independent on the type and configuration of the paint used for fill or stroke. Before the final operation the areas of the input shapes are transformed to the parent coordinate space of their respective topmost parent nodes.

    The resulting shape will include areas that were contained in any of the input shapes.

                 shape1       +       shape2       =       result

           +----------------+   +----------------+   +----------------+

    Parameters:
      `shape1` - the first shape
      `shape2` - the second shape
    Returns:
      the created `Shape`

  - ### subtract

    public static Shape subtract​(Shape shape1, Shape shape2)
    Returns a new `Shape` which is created by subtracting the specified second shape from the first shape.

    The operation works with geometric areas occupied by the input shapes. For a single `Shape` such area includes the area occupied by the fill if the shape has a non-null fill and the area occupied by the stroke if the shape has a non-null stroke. So the area is empty for a shape with `null` stroke and `null` fill. The area of an input shape considered by the operation is independent on the type and configuration of the paint used for fill or stroke. Before the final operation the areas of the input shapes are transformed to the parent coordinate space of their respective topmost parent nodes.

    The resulting shape will include areas that were contained only in the first shape and not in the second shape.

                 shape1       -       shape2       =       result

           +----------------+   +----------------+   +----------------+

    Parameters:
      `shape1` - the first shape
      `shape2` - the second shape
    Returns:
      the created `Shape`

  - ### intersect

    public static Shape intersect​(Shape shape1, Shape shape2)
    Returns a new `Shape` which is created as an intersection of the specified input shapes.

    The operation works with geometric areas occupied by the input shapes. For a single `Shape` such area includes the area occupied by the fill if the shape has a non-null fill and the area occupied by the stroke if the shape has a non-null stroke. So the area is empty for a shape with `null` stroke and `null` fill. The area of an input shape considered by the operation is independent on the type and configuration of the paint used for fill or stroke. Before the final operation the areas of the input shapes are transformed to the parent coordinate space of their respective topmost parent nodes.

    The resulting shape will include only areas that were contained in both of the input shapes.

                 shape1       +       shape2       =       result
