Path Command

The following commands are available for path data:

• M = moveto
• L = lineto
• H = horizontal lineto
• V = vertical lineto
• C = curveto
• S = smooth curveto
• Q = quadratic Bézier curve
• T = smooth quadratic Bézier curveto
• A = elliptical Arc
• Z = closepath

Note: All of the commands above can also be expressed with lower letters. Capital letters means absolutely positioned, lower cases means relatively positioned.

Example 1

The example below defines a path that starts at position 150,0 with a line to position 75,200 then from there, a line to 225,200 and finally closing the path back to 150,0:

Here is the SVG code:

Example

<svg height="210" width="400">
  <path d="M150 0 L75 200 L225 200 Z" />
