| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| motionPath | {
path: string,
from?: number,
to?: number,
rotatable?: boolean
}

} | Motion path of the component. The input parameters are described as follows:
- **path**: motion path of the translation animation. The value is an SVG path string.
- **from**: start point of the motion path. The default value is **0.0**.
- **to**: end point of the motion path. The default value is **1.0**.

## Example
```ts
// xxx.ets
@Entry
@Component
struct MotionPathExample {
@State toggle: boolean = true
build() {
Column() {
Button('click me')
// 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((event: ClickEvent) => {
animateTo({ duration: 4000, curve: Curve.Linear }, () => {
this.toggle = !this.toggle;
})
}).backgroundColor(0x317aff)
}.width('100%').height('100%').alignItems(this.toggle ? HorizontalAlign.Start : HorizontalAlign.Center)
}
