title: Path
---

A path represents an SVG path, which are the lines and curves on our pattern.

## Signature

```js
Path new Path()
```

The Path constructor takes no arguments.

## Properties

A Path object comes with the following properties:

- `attributes` : An [Attributes](/reference/api/attributes) instance holding
  the path's attributes
- `hidden` : When this is `true` the path will be hidden (excluding it from the
  output).  See [Path.hide()](/reference/api/path/hide),
  [Path.unhide()](/reference/api/path/unhide), and
  [Path.setHidden()](/reference/api/path/sethidden) for various methods that
  allow setting this in a chainable way.
