>The base class is point .
Inheritance isn't the right solution for point. A shape is not a point. A shape has one or more points, so containment is a better solution. point should be a stand-alone class. I really hate the shape abstraction as a means of introducing inheritance, but consider this:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

struct Point {
  int x, y;
};

class Shape {
  /* No points */
public:
  virtual void draw() const { cout<<"Shape"<<endl; }
};

class Ellipse: public Shape {
  Point center;
  int radius;
public:
  virtual void draw() const { cout<<"Ellipse"<<endl; }
};

class Rectangle: public Shape {
  Point top_left;
  Point bottom_right;
public:
  virtual void draw() const { cout<<"Rectangle"<<endl; }
};

It's much harder to work out a coherent hierarchy if all of the shapes derive from Point.
