The thing is, the position of the Shape, after its moment of creation seems to never change (if you ask the shape i.e. shape.getBoundingBox() )
So you might as well jus tmake all your shapes at ULHC 0,0 and keep some sort f funning total about how the graphics object has been transformed with respect to each shape. Because if you AT the graphics over here, there anywhere, the shape will always report that it lives where ever you created it, no matter where it's painted on the screen. If you want it to appear at some point, then 100 pixels to the left of that later on, then you want to know if the mouse is over a particular shape, you have to somehow keep a record of the cumulative total of all the AT changes which were applied to the graphics before THAT shape was painted and then calculate some transform on the mouse event point that takes you back to where the shape thinks its home sweet home is , as and always will be, then ask the shape if perhaps it shape.contains(mouseEvent.getPoint()) I think I got that right without exaggerating. Yucky Ducky. Can this be how Duke meant for things to be?
