304			<p>PathStroke traces the outline of bezier path
305			objects with a second path. This can be used to
306			quickly draw a bezier shape and then vary the line
307			thickness locally to get more "natural"
308			effects.<br /></p>
309
310			<p>Right now the resulting path might intersect
311			itself when the source path has very sharp curves,
312			overlaps itself or has edge-anchors. However, the
313			resulting path might be used as a starting
314			point.<br /></p>
