# path

The current path to use when drawing the overlay.

## Declaration

```occ
@property CGPathRef path;
```

## Discussion

Discussion Getting the value of this property causes the path to be created (using the createPath method) if it does not already exist. You can also assign a path object to this property explicitly. When assigning a new path object to this property, the receiver retains the path you specify.
