This method provides a basic facility for implementors of the {@link Shape} interface to implement support for the{@link Shape#intersects(double,double,double,double)} method.
This method object may conservatively return true in cases where the specified rectangular area intersects a segment of the path, but that segment does not represent a boundary between the interior and exterior of the path. Such a case may occur if some set of segments of the path are retraced in the reverse direction such that the two sets of segments cancel each other out without any interior area between them. To determine whether segments represent true boundaries of the interior of the path would require extensive calculations involving all of the segments of the path and the winding rule and are thus beyond the scope of this implementation. @param pi the specified {@code PathIterator} @param x the specified X coordinate @param y the specified Y coordinate @param w the width of the specified rectangular coordinates @param h the height of the specified rectangular coordinates @return {@code true} if the specified {@code PathIterator} andthe interior of the specified set of rectangular coordinates intersect each other; {@code false} otherwise. @since 1.6
