Shape Vertices

/**
 * Shape Vertices. 
 * 
 * How to iterate over the vertices of a shape.
 * When loading an obj or SVG, getVertexCount() 
 * will typically return 0 since all the vertices 
 * are in the child shapes. 
 *
 * You should iterate through the children and then
 * iterate through their vertices.
