20.1.9.16 pathLst (List of Shape Paths)
This element specifies the entire path that is to make up a single geometric shape. The pathLst can consist of many individual paths within it.
[Example: Consider the following DrawingML.
<a:custGeom>
<a:pathLst>
<a:path w="2824222" h="590309">
<a:moveTo>
<a:pt x="0" y="428263"/>
</a:moveTo>
<a:lnTo>
<a:pt x="1620455" y="590309"/>
</a:lnTo>
<a:lnTo>
<a:pt x="2824222" y="173620"/>
</a:lnTo>
<a:lnTo>
<a:pt x="1562582" y="0"/>
</a:lnTo>
<a:close/>
</a:path>
</a:pathLst>
</a:custGeom>
In the above example there is specified a four sided geometric shape that has all straight sides. While we only see three lines being drawn via the lnTo element there are actually four sides because the last point of (x=1562585, y=0) is connected to the first point in the creation path via a lnTo element. end example]
[Note: A geometry with multiple paths within it should be treated visually as if each path were a distinct shape. That is each creation path has its first point and last point joined to form a closed shape. However, the generating application should then connect the last point to the first point of the new shape. If a close element is encountered at the end of the previous creation path then this joining line should not be rendered by the generating application. The rendering should resume with the first line or curve on the new creation path. end note]
