Geometry Section

Contains rows that list the coordinates of the vertices for the lines and arcs that make up the shape.

The geometry of a shape can be expressed in multiple Geometry sections. Multiple paths can be useful when multiple paths have different properties (e.g. image clipping paths).

Remarks

The Geometry section contains the following row types. For details, see the row topics.

Row Description
MoveTo
Move to a coordinate.
LineTo
Draw a line to a coordinate.
ArcTo

NURBSTo
Draw a non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) to a coordinate.
SplineStart
Start a spline.
SplineKnot
Draw a spline segment to a knot coordinate.
InfiniteLine
Draw an infinite line from one coordinate to another.
Ellipse
Draw an ellipse from a center coordinate and a major/minor axis.
RelCubBezTo
Draw a cubic Bezier curve relative to the width and height of the shape.
RelEllipticalArcTo

RelLineTo
Draw a line to a coordinate relative the height and width of a shape.
RelMoveTo
Move to a coordinate relative to the width and height of the shape.
RelQuadBezTo
