# path
The path SVG element is the generic element to define a shape. All the basic shapes can be created with a path element.
Usually, this element is created with:
const path = parentElement.add('path')
It's possible to create it as a disconnected element with gySVG('path') and attach it to the SVG document with .attachTo().
