# Path

The path is the most powerful element in a graphical context since it allows for the definition of any complex or basic shape. The Node-i2djs Path offers a set of methods for building or interpreting the path, following the SVG Path syntax definition.

It can be imported as below.

```
import {path} from 'node-i2djs';
```

## API

Path Instance creation:

```
var pathInstance = i2d.path()
```

#### **#.m(absoluteflag, point);**

```
pathInstance.m(true, { x: 0, y: 0 })
```

#### **#.h(absoluteflag, point);**

```
pathInstance.h(true, { x: 100 });
```

#### **#.v(absoluteflag, point);**

```
pathInstance.v(true, { y: 100 })
```

#### **#.l(absoluteflag, point);**

```
pathInstance.l(true, {x : 100, y: 100 });
```

#### **#.c(absoluteflag, ctrl1, ctrl2, point);**

```
pathInstance.c(true, {x : 50, y: 0 }, {x : 0, y: 50 }, {x : 100, y: 100 });
```

#### **#.q(absoluteflag, ctrl1, point);**

```
pathInstance.q(true, {x : 0, y: 50 }, {x : 100, y: 100 });
```

#### **#.s(absoluteflag, ctrl2, point);**

```
pathInstance.s(true, {x : 50, y: 0 }, {x : 50, y: 0 }, {x : 100, y: 100 })
```

#### **#.a(absoluteflag, rx, ry, xRotation, arcLargeFlag, sweepFlag, point);**

```
pathInstance.a(true, 0, 0, 2.1, true, false, {x : 100, y: 100 });
```

#### **#.z();**

```
pathInstance.z();
```

#### **#.parse(Pathstring);**

```
pathInstance.parse("M150 0 L75 200 L225 200 Z");
```

#### **#.fetchPathString();**

```
pathInstance.fetchPathString();
```

#### **#.getTotalLength();**

#### **#.getPointAtLength();**

#### **#.isValid();**
