# Path `Path` is a content element that represents a series of connected lines and curves. The [Geometry](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/concepts/geometry) property specifies the shape of the path. * [Inserting a Path](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/path#inserting-a-path) * [Modifying a Path](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/path#modifying-a-path) ## Public API | **Property** | **Description** | | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Fill` | The color that fills the path. The default value is Black. | | `Stroke` | The color that strokes the path. The default value is Black. | | `IsFilled` | Specifies whether the path is filled. | | `IsStroked` | Specifies whether the path is stroked. | | `StrokeThickness` | The width of the stroke outline. | | `StrokeLineCap` | Specifies the shape used at the ends of open paths when they are stroked. It can have one of the following values:
`Flat`Flat line cap.
`Round`Round line cap.
`Square`Square line cap.
| | `StrokeLineJoin` | Specifies the shape used at the corners of stroked paths. Join styles are significant only at points where consecutive segments connect at an angle. Available options:
`Bevel`Produces a diagonal corner.
`Miter`Produces a sharp corner. If the segments meet at too sharp an angle, a bevel join is used instead.
`Round`Produces a smooth, circular arc between the lines.
| | `StrokeDashArray` | The pattern of dashes and gaps used to stroke paths. | | `StrokeDashOffset` | The distance from the start of a line to the beginning of a dash pattern. | | `AlphaConstant` | Specifies the constant shape or constant opacity value for nonstroking operations. | | `StrokeAlphaConstant` | Specifies the constant shape or constant opacity value for stroking operations. | | `MiterLimit` | The limit of the thickness of the join on a mitered corner. | | `Geometry` | The shape to draw. For more information, see [Geometry](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/concepts/geometry). | | `Position` | Specifies the position of the path. | | **Method** | **Description** | | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | `Clone` (starting with Q2 2025) | Creates a deep copy of this document element. | ### Inserting a Path `Path` is a content element designed for the `Content` collection of an `IContainerElement` such as [RadFixedPage](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/radfixedpage). You can use several approaches to add it. **Example 1** shows how to create a `Path`, assign a predefined `Geometry` to it, and add it to a container. **Example 1: Create Path and add it to container** ```C# RadFixedPage container = new RadFixedPage(); Path path1 = new Path(); path1.Geometry = geometry; container.Content.Add(path1); ``` **Example 2** demonstrates how to use one of the factory methods of the `ContentElementCollection` to create a new path and insert it into the document. **Example 2: Add Path to container** ```C# Path path2 = container.Content.AddPath(); path2.Geometry = geometry; ``` > There are other methods that allow adding a path to a document. You can use them through the [FixedContentEditor](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/editing/fixedcontenteditor) class. ### Modifying a Path You can modify a `Path` element using the properties the class exposes. The properties are listed in the [Public API](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/path#public-api) section. **Example 3: Modifying Path properties** ```C# RadFixedDocument document = new RadFixedDocument(); RadFixedPage page = document.Pages.AddPage(); FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(page); RectangleGeometry rectangleGeometry = new RectangleGeometry(); rectangleGeometry.Rect = new Rect(10, 5, 400, 300); Path path3 = new Path(); path3.Geometry = rectangleGeometry; SimplePosition simplePosition = new SimplePosition(); simplePosition.Translate(20, 20); path3.Fill = new RgbColor(255, 0, 255); path3.Stroke = new RgbColor(0, 0, 255); path3.IsFilled = true; path3.IsStroked = true; path3.StrokeThickness = 1; path3.StrokeLineCap = Telerik.Documents.Fixed.Model.Graphics.LineCap.Flat; path3.StrokeLineJoin = Telerik.Documents.Fixed.Model.Graphics.LineJoin.Round; path3.StrokeDashArray = new double[] { 1 }; path3.StrokeDashOffset = 2; path3.AlphaConstant = 0.5; path3.StrokeAlphaConstant = 0.1; path3.MiterLimit = 2; path3.Position = simplePosition; page.Content.Add(path3); ``` ## See Also * [Geometry](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/concepts/geometry) * [RadFixedPage](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/model/radfixedpage) * [FixedContentEditor](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/libraries/radpdfprocessing/editing/fixedcontenteditor) * [How to Draw Figures in PDF Documents](https://www.telerik.com/document-processing-libraries/documentation/knowledge-base/pdf-processing-draw-figures-arcsegment)
