# closeSubpath()

Closes and completes a subpath in a mutable graphics path.

```
func closeSubpath()
```

## Discussion

Appends a line from the current point to the starting point of the current subpath and ends the subpath.

After closing the subpath, your application can begin a new subpath without first calling [`CGPathMoveToPoint`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathMoveToPoint). In this case, a new subpath is implicitly created with a starting and current point equal to the previous subpath’s starting point.
