### Method

# Gimp Pathstroke_new_from_points

since: 2.4

#### Declaration [src]

    gint
    gimp_path_stroke_new_from_points (
      GimpPath* path,
      GimpPathStrokeType type,
      gsize num_points,
      const gdouble* controlpoints,
      gboolean closed
    )

#### Description [src]

Adds a stroke of a given type to the path object.

Adds a stroke of a given type to the path object. The coordinates of the control points can be specified. For now only strokes of the type GIMP_PATH_STROKE_TYPE_BEZIER are supported. The control points are specified as a pair of double values for the x- and y-coordinate. The Bezier stroke type needs a multiple of three control points. Each Bezier segment endpoint (anchor, A) has two additional control points (C) associated. They are specified in the order CACCACCAC…
