# init(ovalIn:)

Creates and returns a new Bézier path object with an inscribed oval path in the specified rectangle.

## Declaration

```swift
convenience init(ovalIn rect: CGRect)
```

## Parameters

- `rect`: The rectangle in which to inscribe an oval.

## Return Value

Return Value A new path object with the oval path.

## Discussion

Discussion This method creates a closed subpath that approximates the oval using a sequence of Bézier curves. The path is created in a clockwise direction (relative to the default coordinate system). If the rect parameter specifies a square, the inscribed path is a circle.
