Circles and Curves

Hi,

when I draw a circle in a SVGGraphics2D element like follows:

gfx = new SVGGraphics2D(document);
        Shape circle = new Ellipse2D.Double(0, 0, 100, 100);
        gfx.setPaint(Color.gray);
        gfx.draw(circle);

how can Batik distiguish between circles and non-circles if the circle is
actually only an approximated circle and a sequence of bezier curves? (I
don't have a problem witht his but I'm just about to implement a Shape
consisting of a sequence of circle segment and wonder how this is
possible...)

Regards
javra
