# [name]

Defines an arbitrary 2d shape plane using paths with optional holes. It can be used with [page:ExtrudeGeometry], [page:ShapeGeometry], to get points, or to get triangulated faces.

`var heartShape = new THREE.Shape(); heartShape.moveTo( 25, 25 ); heartShape.bezierCurveTo( 25, 25, 20, 0, 0, 0 ); heartShape.bezierCurveTo( 30, 0, 30, 35,30,35 ); heartShape.bezierCurveTo( 30, 55, 10, 77, 25, 95 ); heartShape.bezierCurveTo( 60, 77, 80, 55, 80, 35 ); heartShape.bezierCurveTo( 80, 35, 80, 0, 50, 0 ); heartShape.bezierCurveTo( 35, 0, 25, 25, 25, 25 ); var extrudeSettings = { amount: 8, bevelEnabled: true, bevelSegments: 2, steps: 2, bevelSize: 1, bevelThickness: 1 }; var geometry = new THREE.ExtrudeGeometry( heartShape, extrudeSettings ); var mesh = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial() );`

## Constructor

### [name]( [param:Array points] )

points -- (optional) array of [page:Vector2 Vector2s].
Creates a Shape from the points. The first point defines the offset, then successive points are added to the [page:CurvePath.curves curves] array as [page:LineCurve LineCurves].
If no points are specified, an empty shape is created and the [page:.currentPoint] is set to the origin.

## Properties

See the base [page:Path] class for common properties.

### [property:String uuid]

[link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier UUID] of this instance. This gets automatically assigned, so this shouldn't be edited.

### [property:array holes]

An array of [page:Path paths] that define the holes in the shape.

## Methods

See the base [page:Path] class for common methods.

### [method:Array extractPoints]( [param:Integer divisions] )

divisions -- The fineness of the result.
Call [page:Curve.getPoints getPoints] on the shape and the [page:.holes] array, and return an object of the form: `{ shape holes }` where shape and holes are arrays of [page:Vector2 Vector2s].

### [method:Array getPointsHoles]( [param:Integer divisions] )

divisions -- The fineness of the result.
Get an array of [page:Vector2 Vector2s] that represent the holes in the shape.
