Create a path from a list of vertices.

syntaxSyntax:
DlxLayer.DrawPath(p1, p2, thickness, startCap, endCap, bLink)
DlxLayer.DrawPath(vertices, thickness, startCap, endCap, bLink)

Parameters

Parameter Description
p1 A DlxPoint object with the coordinates specifying the path start point.
p2 A DlxPoint object with the coordinates specifying the path endpoint.
thickness Thickness of the path.
startCap
endCap		 Specifies the shape of the ends of the path. Specify one of the following values:
DlxApp.PATHCAP_FLAT
DlxApp.PATHCAP_ROUND
DlxApp.PATHCAP_ARROW
DlxApp.PATHCAP_TRIANGLE
DlxApp.PATHCAP_DOVETAIL
bLink Specify true if the path should connect to other objects in the path.
vertices An array of DlxPoint objects with the coordinates used to create the path vertices.

Return Value

The last newly created DlxPath object. Call the IsValid() method to determine if the object was created correctly.
