Width of the rectangle where the path is located.

Height of the rectangle where the path is located.
commands
string
''
Yes
Command string for drawing the path.
The supported commands are as follows:
- M = moveto
- L = lineto
- H = horizontal lineto
- V = vertical lineto
- C = curveto
- S = smooth curveto
- Q = quadratic Belzier curve
- T = smooth quadratic Belzier curveto
- A = elliptical Arc
- Z = closepath
For example, the command **M0 20 L50 50 L50 100 Z** defines a path that starts from \(0, 20\), reaches \(50, 50\) and then \(50, 100\), and ends at \(0, 20\).
## Example
```
@Entry
@Component
struct PathExample {
build() {
Column({ space: 5 }) {
Text('Straight line').fontSize(9).fontColor(0xCCCCCC).width('90%')
Path().width(300).height(10).commands('M0 0 L900 0').stroke(Color.Black).strokeWidth(3)
Text('Straight line graph').fontSize(9).fontColor(0xCCCCCC).width('90%')
Flex({ justifyContent: FlexAlign.SpaceAround }) {
// Run MoveTo(150, 0), LineTo(300, 300), LineTo(0, 300), and ClosePath() in sequence.
Path().width(100).height(100).commands('M150 0 L300 300 L0 300 Z')
// Run MoveTo(0, 0), HorizontalLineto(300), VerticalLineto(300), HorizontalLineto(0), and ClosePath() in sequence.
Path().width(100).height(100).commands('M0 0 H300 V300 H0 Z')
// Run MoveTo(150, 0), LineTo(0, 150), LineTo(60, 300), LineTo(240, 300), LineTo(300, 150), and ClosePath() in sequence.
Path().width(100).height(100).commands('M150 0 L0 150 L60 300 L240 300 L300 150 Z')
}.width('100%')
Text('Curve graphics').fontSize(9).fontColor(0xCCCCCC).width('90%')
Flex({ justifyContent: FlexAlign.SpaceAround }) {
/ / Run MoveTo(0, 300), draw a curve between (150, 0) and (300, 300), and then run ClosePath().
Path().width(100).height(100).commands("M0 300 S150 0 300 300 Z")
/ / Run MoveTo(0, 150), draw a curve among (0, 150), (150, 0), and (300, 150), and then run ClosePath().
Path().width(100).height(100).commands('M0 150 C0 150 150 0 300 150 L150 300 Z')
}
}.width('100%').margin({ top: 5 })
}
}
