# stroke()

Draws a line along the path using the current stroke color and drawing attributes.

```
func stroke()
```

## Discussion

The drawn line is centered on the path with its sides parallel to the path segment. This method uses the current drawing attributes associated with the receiver. If a particular attribute is not set for the receiver, this method uses the corresponding default attribute.

## See Also

[`-  set`](/documentation/AppKit/NSColor/set())

Sets the color of subsequent drawing to the color that the color object represents.
