Description:

Abstract superclass for geometric figures.
Concrete classes are (currently) Rectangle, Polygon and the classes
found in goodies/shape.

These are not graphical objects, but pure mathematical ones.
I.e. instances do not carry graphics attributes such as color, lineWidth etc.
However, they ``know'' how to display themself as stroked or possibly
filled picture on a graphicsContext (although, the GC's current
paint and lineStyles are used).

Use instances of (subclasses) of DisplayObject or 
of the GeometricWrapper classes for objects which keep the color 
and lineStyle information with them.

Notice: 
    ST/X does not use Geometric instances for drawing (yet).
    Except for Rectangle, Geometry and its subclasses exists mainly 
    for ST-80 compatibility and to provide a home when other (PD) 
    geometry classes are to be filed in.

Class protocol:

 boundingRectangleForPoints: aSequencableCollectionOfPoints

given a bunch of point, compute the boundingRectangle
(i.e. the smallest rectangle which encloses all of those points)

 initialize

setup class constants

usage example(s):

Geometric initialize

 isAbstract

Return if this class is an abstract class.
True is returned here for myself only; false for subclasses.
Abstract subclasses must redefine this again.

Instance protocol:

 asFiller

return a wrapper which displays the receiver in its filled form

 asRectangle

return the enclosing rectangle; same as #bounds

 asStroker

return a wrapper which displays the receiver as stroked outline

 asVisualComponent

return a wrapper on the receiver, which responds to VisualComponent messages.

 ascentOn: aGC

displayOn: does not draw above baseline

 displayFilledOn: aGC

display myself filled on a graphicsContext; the current graphics
attributes are used. Since we do not know how to do it, nothing is
drawn here.

** This method raises an error - it must be redefined in concrete classes **

 displayOn: aGCOrStream

display myself on a graphicsContext; the current graphics
attributes are used. The default here is to display the outline.

 displayStrokedOn: aGC

display my outline on a graphicsContext; the current graphics
attributes are used. Since we do not know how to do it, nothing is
drawn here.

** This method raises an error - it must be redefined in concrete classes **

 bounds

return the smallest enclosing rectangle.
This resends computeBounds, to allow caching of bounds in
case this computation is expensive.

 computeBounds

return the smallest enclosing rectangle.

** This method raises an error - it must be redefined in concrete classes **

 outlineIntersects: aRectangle

return true, if the receiver's image intersects
aRectangle, when drawn as an outline.
Here, all we can do is to ask the boundary rectangle;
subclasses should reimplement better checks.

 regionIntersects: aRectangle

return true, if the receiver's image intersects
aRectangle, when drawn as a filled version.
Here, all we can do is to ask the boundary rectangle;
subclasses should reimplement better checks.

 canBeFilled

return true, if the receiver can be drawn as a filled geometric.
Return false here, since we don't know.

 isBezier2Segment

return true, if the receiver is a quadratic bezier segment

 isLineSegment

return true, if the receiver is a line segment

 align: offset with: someCoordinate

 alignBottomLeftWith: someCoordinate

return a copy of myself where its bottomLeft is aligned with someCoordinate

 alignBottomRightWith: someCoordinate

return a copy of myself where its bottomRight is aligned with someCoordinate.
Same as alignCorner

 alignCenterWith: someCoordinate

return a copy of myself where its center is aligned with someCoordinate.
Same as alignOrigin

 alignCornerWith: someCoordinate

return a copy of myself where its corner is aligned with someCoordinate

 alignOriginWith: someCoordinate

return a copy of myself where its origin is aligned with someCoordinate

 alignTopLeftWith: someCoordinate

return a copy of myself where its topLeft is aligned with someCoordinate.
Same as alignOrigin

 alignTopRightWith: someCoordinate

return a copy of myself where its topRight is aligned with someCoordinate.
Same as alignOrigin

 scaledBy: scaleAmount

return a copy of the receiver, which is scaled by the argument,
a point or number

** This method raises an error - it must be redefined in concrete classes **

 translatedBy: scaleAmount

return a copy of the receiver, which is translated by the argument,
a point or number

** This method raises an error - it must be redefined in concrete classes **
