Name
ccontext:ClosePath -- close path
Synopsis
ccontext:ClosePath()
Function
Adds a line segment to the path from the current point to the beginning of the current sub-path, (the most recent point passed to ccontext:MoveTo()), and closes this sub-path. After this call the current point will be at the joined endpoint of the sub-path.

The behavior of ccontext:ClosePath() is distinct from simply calling ccontext:LineTo() with the equivalent coordinate in the case of stroking. When a closed sub-path is stroked, there are no caps on the ends of the sub-path. Instead, there is a line join connecting the final and initial segments of the sub-path.

If there is no current point before the call to ccontext:ClosePath(), this function will have no effect.

Note: Any call to ccontext:ClosePath() will place an explicit MOVE_TO element into the path immediately after the CLOSE_PATH element, which can be seen in ccontext:CopyPath() for example. This can simplify path processing in some cases as it may not be necessary to save the "last move_to point" during processing as the MOVE_TO immediately after the CLOSE_PATH will provide that point.
