# subtracting(_:eoFill:)

Returns a new path with filled regions from this path that are not in the given path.

## Declaration

```swift
func subtracting(_ other: Path, eoFill: Bool = false) -> Path
```

## Parameters

- `other`: The path to subtract.
- `eoFill`: Whether to use the even-odd rule for determining which areas to treat as the interior of the paths (if true), or the non-zero rule (if false).

## Return Value

Return Value A new path.

## Discussion

Discussion The filled region of the resulting path is the filled region of this path with the filled region other removed from it. Any unclosed subpaths in either path are assumed to be closed. The result of filling this path using either even-odd or non-zero fill rules is identical.
