Geometry Section
Contains rows that list the coordinates of the vertices for the lines and arcs that make up the shape.
The geometry of a shape can be expressed in multiple Geometry sections. Multiple paths can be useful when multiple paths have different properties (e.g. image clipping paths).
Remarks
The Geometry section contains the following row types. For details, see the row topics.
