    	 * A Shape allows you to display vector art in the display list. It composites a {{#crossLink "Graphics"}}{{/crossLink}}
    	 * instance which exposes all of the vector drawing methods. The Graphics instance can be shared between multiple Shape
    	 * instances to display the same vector graphics with different positions or transforms.
    	 *
    	 * If the vector art will not
    	 * change between draws, you may want to use the {{#crossLink "DisplayObject/cache"}}{{/crossLink}} method to reduce the
    	 * rendering cost.
    	 *
