# drawPath(using:)

Draws the current path using the provided drawing mode.

```
func drawPath(using mode: CGPathDrawingMode)
```

## Parameters

`mode`

A path drawing mode constant—[`CGPathDrawingMode.fill`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/fill), [`CGPathDrawingMode.eoFill`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/eoFill), [`CGPathDrawingMode.stroke`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/stroke), [`CGPathDrawingMode.fillStroke`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/fillStroke), or [`CGPathDrawingMode.eoFillStroke`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPathDrawingMode/eoFillStroke). For a discussion of these constants, see [`CGPath`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGPath).

## Discussion

The current path is cleared as a side effect of calling this function.

## See Also

[`CGContextEOFillPath`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGContextEOFillPath)

Paints the area within the current path, using the even-odd fill rule.

[`CGContextFillPath`](/documentation/CoreGraphics/CGContextFillPath)

Paints the area within the current path, using the nonzero winding number rule.
