CLASS DESCRIPTION
		
The UHShape is an abstract class that provides many of the attributes and methods for general drawing shapes to be placed into windows in Interface Builder.  Subclasses of UHShape can draw specific shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, and lines.  Each shape can resized by the mouse in IB, and colors, line width, fill, etc., can be set via the IB inspector.

INSTANCE METHODS
			
choice
- (int)choice
				
Returns the value of the instance variable choice which indicates the type of shape chosen from the inspector.  The specific values of choice are defined in subclasses of UHShape.
				
fillColor
-(NXColor)fillColor
				
Returns the fill color of the shape.
							
isBordered
- (BOOL)isBordered
					
Returns a flag indicating whether the shape is bordered.
			
isFilled
- (BOOL)isFilled
					
Returns a flag indicating whether the shape is filled.
			
initFrame:
- initFrame:(const NXRect *)frameRect
					
Initializes the object, which must be a newly allocated UHShape instance.  The View's frame rectangle is made equivalent to that pointed to by frameRect.   It also initializes the line width, line color, fill color, border, and fill of the shape.  Returns self.
					
lineColor
-(NXColor)lineColor
				
Returns the color used for line portions of the shape.
				
lineWidth
-(float)lineWidth
					
Returns the line width (or border width) or the shape.

read:
- read:(NXTypedStream *)stream
					
Reads the UHShape from the typed stream stream.
					
setBordered:
- setBordered:(int)flag
					
Sets the value of the instance variable isBordered which is a flag used to check whether the shape is to have a border around it.  Calls display and returns self.
			
setChoice:
- setChoice:(int)value
					
Sets the value of  the instance variable choice indicating the type of the shape.  Specific values for choice are defined in subclasses of UHShape.  Returns self.
		
	
setFillColor:
- setFillColor:(NXColor)aColor
					
Sets the fill color of the shape.  Returns self.
					
setFilled:
- setFilled:(int)flag
					
Sets the value of the instance variable isFilled which is a flag used to check whether the shape is to be filled.  Calls display and returns self.
			
				
setLineColor:
-setLineColor:(NXColor)aColor
					
Sets the color used for line (or border) portions of the shape.  Returns self.
					
setLineWidth:
-setLineWidth:(float)value
					
Sets the line width used for line (or border) portions of the shape.  Returns self.
						
setTag:
- setTag:(int)value
					
Sets the value of  the instance variable tag.  Returns self.
			
tag
-(int)tag
					
Returns the value of the tag.
				
write
	- write:(NXTypedStream *)stream
					
Writes the UHShape to the typed stream stream.
