Sorry, fixed now.
And several questions about the code.
1. Save/Restore of transformation in Graphics2D. Is this way:
AffineTransform saved = g2d.getTransform();
...
g2d.setTransform(saved);
efficient???
It works well for 1 or 2 attributes, but if you are going to save more
than that then this way is simpler and still fast:
Graphics2D g2 = g.create();
g2.set<Attribute[s]>(...);
g2.drawandfillstuff(...);
g2.dispose();
Some people may find that model simpler even for one attribute. A lot
of work went into making Graphics2D.create() very fast since Swing uses
that method a lot.
2. Fill/Draw functions. I often use fill and draw functions for the same path.
Can this somehow be optimized? In Qt there is only one call to
QPainter::drawPath and it simultaneously uses current pen for outline and
current brush for filling.
We don't have any fill and draw convenience functions or separate fill
and draw paint attributes. I don't think I've seen any feature requests
for these before either.
3. I didn't find Path2D.arcTo and used Path2D.append(new Arc2D.Double(...),
true). Is this intended way to add arc to path?

Yes, that is the only way to add an arc to a path currently. There was
a suggestion to add that method to GeneralPath (now just a subclass of
Path2D), but it never received any votes in the bug parade in over a decade:
