<p>PathStroke traces the outline of bezier path |
380 |

|
objects with a second path. This can be used to |
381 |
|
|
quickly draw a bezier shape and then vary the line |
382 |
|
|
thickness locally to get more "natural" |
383 |
|

effects.<br /></p> |

|
<p>Right now the resulting path might intersect |
386 |
|
|
itself when the source path has very sharp curves, |
387 |
|
|
overlaps itself or has edge-anchors. However, the |
388 |
|
|
resulting path might be used as a starting |
389 |
|
|
point.<br /></p> |
