## Synopsis

    class goocanvas.Path(goocanvas.ItemSimple):
        goocanvas.Path(properties=None)

## Ancestry

    +-- gobject.GObject
    	+-- goocanvas.ItemSimple
    		+-- goocanvas.Path

## goocanvas.Path Properties

"data" | Write | The sequence of path commands, specified as a string using the same syntax as in the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) path element. Default value: NULL.

## Implemented Interfaces

`goocanvas.Path` implements `goocanvas.Item`

## Description

`goocanvas.Path` represents a path item, which is a series of one or more lines, bezier curves, or elliptical arcs. It is a subclass of `goocanvas.ItemSimple` and so inherits all of the style properties such as "stroke-color", "fill-color" and "line-width". It also implements the `goocanvas.Item` interface, so you can use the `goocanvas.Item` functions such as `goocanvas.Item.raise_()` and `goocanvas.Item.rotate()``goocanvas.Path` uses the same path specification strings as the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) path element. For details see the SVG Specification To respond to events such as mouse clicks on the path you must connect to the signal handlers of the corresponding `goocanvas.PathView` object. (See `goocanvas.CanvasView.get_item_view()` and `goocanvas.CanvasView` signal "item-view-created")

## Constructor

        goocanvas.Path(properties=None)

`properties` : | A comma separated list of properties.
Returns : | A new `goocanvas.Path`

Creates a new canvas path item.

Here's an example showing how to create a red line from (20,20) to (40,40):

    	path = goocanvas.Path(data="M 20 20 L 40 40", stroke_color="red")

This example creates a cubic bezier curve from (20,100) to (100,100) with the control points at (20,50) and (100,50):

    	path = goocanvas.Path(data="M20,100 C20,50 100,50 100,100", stroke_color="blue")

This example uses an elliptical arc to create a filled circle with one quarter missing:

    	path = goocanvas.Path(data="M200,500 h-150 a150,150 0 1,0 150,-150 z", fill_color="red", stroke_color="blue", line_width=5.0,)
