[id] = StartPath(id)
id
. Alternatively, you can pass Nil as
id
. In that case, StartPath()
will automatically select an identifier
and return it to you.
Once the new path is created, you should first define a current point for the path by calling the MoveTo() command. After that, you can start adding vertices to the path.
A vector path is a root object for an infinite number of sub-paths. You can think of a vector path as a collection of an infinite number of separate polygons. Each sub-path within a vector path can be regarded as a separate polygon. Keep in mind, though, that when you draw a vector path using DrawPath() you can only specify a global color that will be used by all sub-paths within the vector path. Thus, it is not possible to use different colors within a single path object. If you need to use another color, you need to create a new path object first.
