# Class Path

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.Node
javafx.scene.shape.Shape
javafx.scene.shape.Path

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Styleable`, `EventTarget`

public non-sealed class Path extends Shape
The `Path` class represents a simple shape and provides facilities required for basic construction and management of a geometric path. Example:

    import javafx.scene.shape.*;

    Path path = new Path();

    MoveTo moveTo = new MoveTo();
    moveTo.setX(0.0f);
    moveTo.setY(0.0f);

    HLineTo hLineTo = new HLineTo();
    hLineTo.setX(70.0f);

    QuadCurveTo quadCurveTo = new QuadCurveTo();
    quadCurveTo.setX(120.0f);
    quadCurveTo.setY(60.0f);
    quadCurveTo.setControlX(100.0f);
    quadCurveTo.setControlY(0.0f);

    LineTo lineTo = new LineTo();
    lineTo.setX(175.0f);
    lineTo.setY(55.0f);

    ArcTo arcTo = new ArcTo();
    arcTo.setX(50.0f);
    arcTo.setY(50.0f);
    arcTo.setRadiusX(50.0f);
    arcTo.setRadiusY(50.0f);

    path.getElements().add(moveTo);
    path.getElements().add(hLineTo);
    path.getElements().add(quadCurveTo);
    path.getElements().add(lineTo);
    path.getElements().add(arcTo);

  JavaFX 2.0
