<a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-path-data-t" title="union cairo_path_data_t"><span class="type">cairo_path_data_t</span></a> is used to represent the path data inside a
<a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-path-t" title="cairo_path_t"><span class="type">cairo_path_t</span></a>.
</p>
<p>
The data structure is designed to try to balance the demands of
efficiency and ease-of-use. A path is represented as an array of
<a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-path-data-t" title="union cairo_path_data_t"><span class="type">cairo_path_data_t</span></a>, which is a union of headers and points.
</p>
<p>
Each portion of the path is represented by one or more elements in
the array, (one header followed by 0 or more points). The length
value of the header is the number of array elements for the current
portion including the header, (ie. length == 1 + # of points), and
where the number of points for each element type is as follows:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">

%CAIRO_PATH_CURVE_TO: 3 points
%CAIRO_PATH_CLOSE_PATH: 0 points
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The semantics and ordering of the coordinate values are consistent
with <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-move-to" title="cairo_move_to ()"><code class="function">cairo_move_to()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-line-to" title="cairo_line_to ()"><code class="function">cairo_line_to()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-curve-to" title="cairo_curve_to ()"><code class="function">cairo_curve_to()</code></a>, and

As of cairo 1.4, cairo does not mind if there are more elements in
a portion of the path than needed. Such elements can be used by
users of the cairo API to hold extra values in the path data
structure. For this reason, it is recommended that applications
always use <code class="literal">data->header.length</code> to
iterate over the path data, instead of hardcoding the number of
elements for each element type.

<p>
Adds a line segment to the path from the current point to the
beginning of the current sub-path, (the most recent point passed to
<a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-move-to" title="cairo_move_to ()"><code class="function">cairo_move_to()</code></a>), and closes this sub-path. After this call the
current point will be at the joined endpoint of the sub-path.
</p>
<p>
The behavior of <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-close-path" title="cairo_close_path ()"><code class="function">cairo_close_path()</code></a> is distinct from simply calling
<a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-line-to" title="cairo_line_to ()"><code class="function">cairo_line_to()</code></a> with the equivalent coordinate in the case of
stroking. When a closed sub-path is stroked, there are no caps on
the ends of the sub-path. Instead, there is a line join connecting
the final and initial segments of the sub-path.
</p>
<p>
If there is no current point before the call to <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-close-path" title="cairo_close_path ()"><code class="function">cairo_close_path()</code></a>,
this function will have no effect.
</p>
<p>
Note: As of cairo version 1.2.4 any call to <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-close-path" title="cairo_close_path ()"><code class="function">cairo_close_path()</code></a> will
place an explicit MOVE_TO element into the path immediately after
the CLOSE_PATH element, (which can be seen in <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-copy-path" title="cairo_copy_path ()"><code class="function">cairo_copy_path()</code></a> for
example). This can simplify path processing in some cases as it may
not be necessary to save the "last move_to point" during processing
as the MOVE_TO immediately after the CLOSE_PATH will provide that
point.

<em class="parameter"><code><span class="type">double</span> angle1</code></em>,
<em class="parameter"><code><span class="type">double</span> angle2</code></em>);</pre>
<p>
Adds a circular arc of the given <em class="parameter"><code>radius</code></em> to the current path. The
arc is centered at (<em class="parameter"><code>xc</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>yc</code></em>), begins at <em class="parameter"><code>angle1</code></em> and proceeds in
the direction of increasing angles to end at <em class="parameter"><code>angle2</code></em>. If <em class="parameter"><code>angle2</code></em> is
less than <em class="parameter"><code>angle1</code></em> it will be progressively increased by
<code class="literal">2*M_PI</code> until it is greater than <em class="parameter"><code>angle1</code></em>.
</p>
<p>
If there is a current point, an initial line segment will be added
to the path to connect the current point to the beginning of the
arc. If this initial line is undesired, it can be avoided by
calling <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-new-sub-path" title="cairo_new_sub_path ()"><code class="function">cairo_new_sub_path()</code></a> before calling <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-arc" title="cairo_arc ()"><code class="function">cairo_arc()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Angles are measured in radians. An angle of 0.0 is in the direction
of the positive X axis (in user space). An angle of
<code class="literal">M_PI/2.0</code> radians (90 degrees) is in the
direction of the positive Y axis (in user space). Angles increase
in the direction from the positive X axis toward the positive Y
axis. So with the default transformation matrix, angles increase in
a clockwise direction.
</p>
<p>
(To convert from degrees to radians, use <code class="literal">degrees * (M_PI /
180.)</code>.)
</p>
<p>
This function gives the arc in the direction of increasing angles;
see <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-arc-negative" title="cairo_arc_negative ()"><code class="function">cairo_arc_negative()</code></a> to get the arc in the direction of
decreasing angles.
</p>
<p>
The arc is circular in user space. To achieve an elliptical arc,
you can scale the current transformation matrix by different
amounts in the X and Y directions. For example, to draw an ellipse
in the box given by <em class="parameter"><code>x</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>y</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>width</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>height</code></em>:

</p>
<p>
Like <a class="link" href="cairo-text.html#cairo-show-text" title="cairo_show_text ()"><code class="function">cairo_show_text()</code></a>, After this call the current point is
moved to the origin of where the next glyph would be placed in
this same progression. That is, the current point will be at
the origin of the final glyph offset by its advance values.
This allows for chaining multiple calls to to <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-text-path" title="cairo_text_path ()"><code class="function">cairo_text_path()</code></a>
without having to set current point in between.
</p>
<p>
Note: The <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-text-path" title="cairo_text_path ()"><code class="function">cairo_text_path()</code></a> function call is part of what the cairo
designers call the "toy" text API. It is convenient for short demos
and simple programs, but it is not expected to be adequate for
serious text-using applications. See <a class="link" href="cairo-Paths.html#cairo-glyph-path" title="cairo_glyph_path ()"><code class="function">cairo_glyph_path()</code></a> for the
"real" text path API in cairo.
