You can expand the stroke of a path to change a path into an object. For example,
a simple path with only two points will become a closed, rectangular path with
four points after you expand it.
When you expand an open path, the result is a filled, closed path. When you
expand a closed path, the result is a composite path.
Expanding a stroke lets you edit its shape and add additional fills, such as
gradient, lens effects, textures, and tiles.
