serialization of java2d

[Anonymous]

Hmmm,

I must have fallen asleep somewhere since the
reason why the java2d classes aren't serializable
totally escapes me.

I can't take a collection of say, rectangle2D.floats
or of shapes and serialize 'em?  Gee, seems like a
good way to "save a drawing...."  no? why?
