# CGPathDrawingMode

Options for rendering a path.

```
enum CGPathDrawingMode
```

## Overview

You can pass a path drawing mode constant to the function [`drawPath(using:)`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGContext/drawPath(using:)) to specify how Core Graphics should paint a graphics context’s current path.

## Topics

### Constants

[`CGPathDrawingMode.fill`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/fill)

Render the area contained within the path using the non-zero winding number rule.

[`CGPathDrawingMode.eoFill`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/eoFill)

Render the area within the path using the even-odd rule.

[`CGPathDrawingMode.stroke`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/stroke)

Render a line along the path.

[`CGPathDrawingMode.fillStroke`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/fillStroke)

First fill and then stroke the path, using the nonzero winding number rule.

[`CGPathDrawingMode.eoFillStroke`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/eoFillStroke)

First fill and then stroke the path, using the even-odd rule.
