ShapeRegion is a special type of object, that can contain one of the following objects:

• Rectangle2D
• Circle2D
• Polygon (closed Path)
• Region

ShapeRegion can be used where Region would be used. It provides easier defining and editing of regions. For example, you can define a rectangle inside a ShapeRegion editor and it will be automatically converted to region on output. When you open editor for ShapeRegion you can move and resize that rectangle, which would not be possible with ordinary Region

Type of currently stored object is determined by tag.
