    `class` | `Arc2D` `Arc2D` is the abstract superclass for all objects that store a 2D arc defined by a framing rectangle, start angle, angular extent (length of the arc), and a closure type (`OPEN`, `CHORD`, or `PIE`).
    `static class` | `Arc2D.Double` This class defines an arc specified in `double` precision.
    `static class` | `Arc2D.Float` This class defines an arc specified in `float` precision.
    `class` | `Ellipse2D` The `Ellipse2D` class describes an ellipse that is defined by a framing rectangle.
    `static class` | `Ellipse2D.Double` The `Double` class defines an ellipse specified in `double` precision.
    `static class` | `Ellipse2D.Float` The `Float` class defines an ellipse specified in `float` precision.
    `class` | `Rectangle2D` The `Rectangle2D` class describes a rectangle defined by a location `(x,y)` and dimension `(w x h)`.
    `static class` | `Rectangle2D.Double` The `Double` class defines a rectangle specified in double coordinates.
    `static class` | `Rectangle2D.Float` The `Float` class defines a rectangle specified in float coordinates.
    `class` | `RoundRectangle2D` The `RoundRectangle2D` class defines a rectangle with rounded corners defined by a location `(x,y)`, a dimension `(w x h)`, and the width and height of an arc with which to round the corners.
    `static class` | `RoundRectangle2D.Double` The `Double` class defines a rectangle with rounded corners all specified in `double` coordinates.
    `static class` | `RoundRectangle2D.Float` The `Float` class defines a rectangle with rounded corners all specified in `float` coordinates.
