# stroke()

Draws a line along the path using the current stroke color and drawing attributes.

## Declaration

```swift
func stroke()
```

## Discussion

Discussion The drawn line is centered on the path with its sides parallel to the path segment. This method uses the current drawing attributes associated with the receiver. If a particular attribute is not set for the receiver, this method uses the corresponding default attribute.
