12. Path

With a Path object, we can create a complicated shape.

Here we use 2 QuadCurveTo objects, 1 CubicCurveTo object, and 2 ArcTo objects. In addition, we set a starting point, for the entire Path, using MoveTo. Unlike the nonpath objects with similar names, we only give ending point, as the start point is given by last path object.
