That's true - the intersects(Rectangle) method is specified to be more useful for situations like culling a tree of shapes against a clip bounds. The contains(Point) method is specified more for things like hit detection...

Thanks all for replies. Probably approach with Shape.contains(Point2D) is better because it seems that intersects doesn't guaranty existance of intersection in general case:

The Shape.intersects() method allows a Shape implementation to conservatively return true when: - there is a high probability that the rectangular area and the Shape intersect, but - the calculations to accurately determine this intersection are prohibitively expensive.
