implementing shape

[sidkdbl07]

I want to create a SatelliteShape class that makes a shape that looks like


Are there any good tutorials on how to write the public PathIterator getPathIterator(AffineTransform pAt) method or any of the other methods?

Any hints would be great!!

This is what I came up with in the end... I thought I would share.

Code:

	public static GeneralPath getSatelliteShape() {
		GeneralPath wingLeft = new GeneralPath();
		wingLeft.moveTo(-22.5f,0f);
		wingLeft.lineTo(-22.5f,7.5f);
		wingLeft.lineTo(-6.6f, 7.5f);
		wingLeft.curveTo(-6.6f, 7.5f, -15f, 0f, -6.6f, -7.5f);
		wingLeft.lineTo(-22.5f, -7.5f);
		wingLeft.closePath();
		
		GeneralPath crossLeft = new GeneralPath();
		crossLeft.moveTo(-22.5f,0f);
		crossLeft.lineTo(-10f,0f);
		crossLeft.moveTo(-15f,7.5f);
		crossLeft.lineTo(-15f,-7.5f);
		
		GeneralPath circle = new GeneralPath(new Ellipse2D.Float(-10f,-10f,20f,20f));
		
		GeneralPath wingRight = new GeneralPath();
		wingRight.moveTo(22.5f,7.5f);
		wingRight.lineTo(22.5f,-7.5f);
		wingRight.lineTo(6.6f,-7.5f);
		wingRight.curveTo(6.6f, -7.5f, 15f, 0f, 6.6f, 7.5f);
		wingRight.closePath();
		
		GeneralPath crossRight = new GeneralPath();
		crossRight.moveTo(10f, 0f);
		crossRight.lineTo(22.5f, 0f);
		crossRight.moveTo(15f, 7.5f);
		crossRight.lineTo(15f, -7.5f);
		
		GeneralPath satellite = new GeneralPath();
		satellite.append(wingLeft, false);
		satellite.append(crossLeft, false);
		satellite.append(circle, false);
		satellite.append(wingRight, false);
		satellite.append(crossRight, false);
		
		return satellite;
	}
