\section{SVG-Path Library}
\label{section-library-svg-path}
\begin{pgflibrary}{svg.path}
This library defines a command that allows you to specify a path
using the \textsc{svg}-syntax.
\end{pgflibrary}
\begin{command}{\pgfpathsvg\marg{path}}
This command extends the current path by a \meta{path} given in the
\textsc{svg}-path-data syntax. This syntax is described in detail in
Section~8.3 of the \textsc{svg}-specification, Version 1.1.
In principle, the complete syntax is supported and the library just
provides a parser and a mapping to basic layer commands. For
instance, |M 0 10| is mapped to
|\pgfpathmoveto{\pgfpoint{0pt}{10pt}}|. There are, however, a few things
to be aware of:
\begin{itemize}
\item The computation underlying the arc commands |A| and |a|
are not numerically stable, which may result in quite imprecise
arcs. B\'ezier curves, both quadratic and cubic, are not affected,
neither are arcs spanning degrees that are multiples of
$90^{\circ}$.
\item The dimensionless units of \textsc{svg} are always interpreted
as points (|pt|). This is a problem with paths like |M 20000 0|,
which will raise an error message since \TeX\ cannot handle
dimensions larger than about 16000 points.
\item
All coordinate and canvas transformations apply to the path in the
usual fashion.
\item
The |\pgfpathsvg| command can be freely intermixed with other path
commands.
\end{itemize}
\begin{codeexample}[]
\begin{pgfpicture}
\pgfpathsvg{M 0 0 l 20 0 0 20 -20 0 q 10 0 10 10
t 10 10 10 10 h -50 z}
\pgfusepath{stroke}
\end{pgfpicture}
\end{codeexample}
\end{command}
