8.3.4 Path class

An open or closed path, composed of Bézier curves and segments. Uses struct geom_path as data representation, which may be external or internal.

It supports the object interface, the node interface and the shape interface.

     struct vcl_path * vcl_path_new (struct geom_path * p)

Creates a path. The p argument is a pointer to external path-representing data (which are not freed during the destroying of the obj). If it is NULL, then the internal path-representing data are used (accessible as the path -> embedded data item).

     void vcl_path_source_changed (struct vcl_path * obj)

The user can freely modify the struct geom_path path representation, but after that he must call vcl_path_source_changed() to update the path node.
