Notes
A PathPoint represents a point on a path, with its pair of control points, or handles. Any
point can considered a corner point. Setting the PointType property of a path point to a
corner forces the left and right direction points to be on a straight line when the user attempts
to modify them in the user interface.
Example 48.1
This script illustrates how to change the shape of a PathItem by modifying the left direction
and the right direction of the PathPoint.
