# append(_:)

Appends the contents of the specified path object to the path.

## Declaration

```swift
func append(_ path: NSBezierPath)
```

## Parameters

- `path`: The path to add to the receiver.

## Discussion

Discussion This method adds the commands used to create aPath to the end of the receiver’s path. This method does not explicitly try to connect the subpaths in the two objects, although the operations in aPath may still cause that effect.
