Class RectangleReader

java.lang.Object
- com.bric.geom.RectangleReader

```
public class RectangleReader
extends Object
```
This can identify if a shape is a Rectangle, Rectangle2D or other.
If a shape is a rectangle, then certain operations can be optimized.

Also there is a bug when clipping shapes using Quartz on Mac: a GeneralPath encapsulating exactly the same area as a Rectangle2D may not clip correctly. If this abstract shape is instead converted to a Rectangle2D: the bug goes away!

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`static Rectangle2D`	`convert(Shape shape)` This studies a shape and determines if it is a `Rectangle`, a `Rectangle2D`, or neither.
`static Rectangle2D`	`convert(Shape shape, AffineTransform transform)` This studies a shape and determines if it is a `Rectangle`, a `Rectangle2D`, or neither.
`static boolean`	`isRectangle(Shape s)` Returns true if a shape is a rectangle.
`static boolean`	`isRectangle(Shape s, AffineTransform tx)` Returns true if a shape is a rectangle when the transform is applied.
