Quote:

The Shp properties all feel like they should be in a separate class. Again, it feels to me like these are metadata items, rather than being intrinsic parts of the base interface. I would probably move these out into a separate metadata class and drop the Shp parts of the name.

The Union and Intersection methods also appear to be wrong, unless you are looking to determine whether this shape intersects with more than one shape - the first parameter of these methods is probably going to be the current instance so why pass it in?
