A path.

Properties

Property Type Access Description
entirePath Array of any r/w A list of the coordinates of all of the path points on the path, including anchor points and left- and right-direction points. When creating a path using this property, supply either a list of anchor point coordinates ([[x1, y1], [x2, y2], …]) or a list of anchor point, left-direction point, and right-direction point coordinates ([[[x1, y1], [x2, y2], [x3, y3]], [[x4, y4], [x5, y5], [x6, y6]], …]). Note: Providing only anchor points results in a path on which all of the path points are connected with straight line segments; supplying the positions of left- and right-direction points specifies curved line segments. Can return: Array of Arrays of 2 Units.
index number readonly The index of the Path within its containing object.
parent any readonly The parent of the Path (a PageItem, Oval, Rectangle, GraphicLine, TextFrame, Polygon, ClippingPathSettings or TextWrapPreference).
pathPoints PathPoints readonly A collection of path points.
