# VectorPath

`ui.path`

Vector path geometry: stroke, fill and hit-testing.

[Video](https://ui.surf/zenit/media/stories/vectorpath.mp4?v=b261110454)

**BEHAVIOR CONTRACT**

Paths render on the GPU; hit-testing uses the same geometry.

**RECORDED INTERACTION**

Sweeps the paths.

```zig

    _ = scope;
    const a = cx.allocator;
    const c = try col(cx, 16);

    // 相邻多 path 节点：encoder 侧应合并为少数 draw（polygon 组 + triangles 组）
    try c.appendChild(a, try label(cx, "Batched fill_path: adjacent stars (polygon mode)"));
    const stars = try row(cx, 12);
