question: public static void serializePath ( final ObjectOutput os , final PathIterator pi ) throws IOException { os . writeObject ( pi . getWindingRule ( ) ) ; final List < java . io . Serializable > list = new ArrayList < java . io . Serializable > ( ) ; while ( ! pi . isDone ( ) ) { final float [ ] array = new float [ 6 ] ; final int type = pi . currentSegment ( array ) ; list . add ( type ) ; list . add ( array ) ; pi . next ( ) ; } os . writeObject ( list ) ; }
target:  method to serialize a path.  This method will iterate through the iterator passed in, and write out the base components of the path to the ObjectOutput
