# symmetricDifference(_:eoFill:)

Returns a new path with filled regions either from this path or
the given path, but not in both.

```
func symmetricDifference(_ other: Path, eoFill: Bool = false) -> Path
```

## Parameters

`other`

The path to difference.

`eoFill`

Whether to use the even-odd rule for determining
which areas to treat as the interior of the paths (if true),
or the non-zero rule (if false).

## Return Value

A new path.

## Discussion

The filled region of the resulting path is the filled region
contained in either this path or `other`, but not both.

Any unclosed subpaths in either path are assumed to be closed.
The result of filling this path using either even-odd or
non-zero fill rules is identical.
