## Attributes
| Name| Type| Default Value| Description|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| motionPath | {
path: string,
from?: number,
to?: number,
rotatable?: boolean
}
**NOTE**
In a path, **start** and **end** can be used to replace the start point and end point. Example:
'Mstart.x start.y L50 50 Lend.x end.y Z'

'',
0.0,
1.0,
false
} | Motion path of the component.
- **path**: motion path of the translation animation. The value is an SVG path string.
- **from**: start point of the motion path.
Default value: **0.0**
Value range: [0, 1]
A value less than 0 evaluates to the value **0**. A value greater than 1 evaluates to the value **1**.
- **to**: end point of the motion path.
Default value: **1.0**
Value range: [0, 1]
A value less than 0 evaluates to the value **0**. A value larger than 1 evaluates to the value **1**.

## Example
```ts
// xxx.ets
@Entry
@Component
struct MotionPathExample {
@State toggle: boolean = true
build() {
Column() {
Button('click me').margin(50)
// Execute the animation: Move from the start point to (300,200), then to (300,500), and finally to the end point.
.motionPath({ path: 'Mstart.x start.y L300 200 L300 500 Lend.x end.y', from: 0.0, to: 1.0, rotatable: true })
.onClick(() => {
animateTo({ duration: 4000, curve: Curve.Linear }, () => {
this.toggle =! this.toggle // Use this.toggle to change the position of the component.
})
})
}.width('100%').height('100%').alignItems(this.toggle ? HorizontalAlign.Start : HorizontalAlign.Center)
}
}
