Image/Graphic into a Shape
I was wondering whether there is any way to convert an image/graphic into a Shape
? For example, can I convert the outline of a motorcycle shape into a Shape
so I can then use it in Java? I know you can do it with normal squares or with rounded corners, polygons, etc. But is there a way to do a custom shape?
Solution 1:
motorcycle.jpg
motorcycle-03.png
ImageOutline.java
This code requires some patience (when running).

Solution 2:
function getArea_FastHack
is build upon Andrew Thompsons work, which was very helpful.
Mine should be faster, however:
