Detailed Description

Path represents an SVG path, an arbitrary set of curves and
straight segments. Unlike SVG("path", d="..."), Path stores
coordinates as a list of numbers, rather than a string, so that it is
transformable in a Fig.

Path(d, attribute=value)

d                       required        path data
attribute=value pairs   keyword list    SVG attributes

See http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/paths.html for specification of paths
from text.

Internally, Path data is a list of tuples with these definitions:

    * ("Z/z",): close the current path
    * ("H/h", x) or ("V/v", y): a horizontal or vertical line
      segment to x or y
    * ("M/m/L/l/T/t", x, y, global): moveto, lineto, or smooth
      quadratic curveto point (x, y). If global=True, (x, y) should
      not be transformed.
    * ("S/sQ/q", cx, cy, cglobal, x, y, global): polybezier or
      smooth quadratic curveto point (x, y) using (cx, cy) as a
      control point. If cglobal or global=True, (cx, cy) or (x, y)
      should not be transformed.
    * ("C/c", c1x, c1y, c1global, c2x, c2y, c2global, x, y, global):
      cubic curveto point (x, y) using (c1x, c1y) and (c2x, c2y) as
      control points. If c1global, c2global, or global=True, (c1x, c1y),
      (c2x, c2y), or (x, y) should not be transformed.
    * ("A/a", rx, ry, rglobal, x-axis-rotation, angle, large-arc-flag,
      sweep-flag, x, y, global): arcto point (x, y) using the
      aforementioned parameters.
    * (",/.", rx, ry, rglobal, angle, x, y, global): an ellipse at
      point (x, y) with radii (rx, ry). If angle is 0, the whole
      ellipse is drawn; otherwise, a partial ellipse is drawn.
