<p>Атрибут <strong><code>d</code></strong> предоставляет определение пути для рисования.</p>

<p>Определение пути - это <a href="#Path_commands">список команд пути</a>, в которых каждая команда состоит из буквы и некоторых чисел, представляющих параметр команды. Ниже приведены все возможные команды.</p>

<p>Три элемента используют этот атрибут: {{SVGElement("path")}}, {{SVGElement("glyph")}}, и {{SVGElement("missing-glyph")}}</p>

<h2 id="path">path</h2>

<p>Для {{SVGElement('path')}}, <code>d</code> - строка, содержащая ряд команд пути, которые определяют путь, который должен нарисован.(maybe 'drawn' not 'drown')</p>

<h2 id="Команды_пути">Команды пути</h2>

<p><em>(Path commands)</em></p>

<p>Команды пути - это команды, объединённые вместе в одну строку и определяющие путь, который нужно нарисовать. Каждая команда состоит из буквы, следующей за некоторыми числами, которые представляют параметры команды.</p>

<p>SVG определяет 6 типов команд пути для всех 20 команд:</p>

<ul>
 <li>MoveTo: <code>M</code>, <code>m</code></li>
 <li>LineTo: <code>L</code>, <code>l</code>, <code>H</code>, <code>h</code>, <code>V</code>, <code>v</code></li>
 <li>Cubic Bézier Curve: <code>C</code>, <code>c</code>, <code>S</code>, <code>s</code></li>
 <li>Quadratic Bézier Curve: <code>Q</code>, <code>q</code>, <code>T</code>, <code>t</code></li>
 <li>Elliptical Arc Curve: <code>A</code>, <code>a</code></li>
 <li>ClosePath: <code>Z</code>, <code>z</code></li>
</ul>

<p class="note"><strong>Заметка:</strong> Команды чувствительны к регистру; команда верхнего регистра указывает свои аргументы как абсолютные позиции, тогда как команда нижнего регистра указывает точки относительно текущей позиции.</p>

<p>Всегда можно указать отрицательное значение в качестве аргумента для команды: отрицательные углы будут вращаться против часовой стрелки, абсолютные позиции x и y будут приниматься за отрицательные координаты, отрицательные относительные значения x будут перемещаться влево, а отрицательные относительные значения y будут двигаться вверх.</p>

<h3 id="Команды_перемещения">Команды перемещения</h3>

<p><em>(MoveTo path commands)</em></p>

<p><em>MoveTo </em>инструкции можно рассматривать как собирание чертёжного инструмента и установку его в другом месте. Между предыдущей точкой и указанной точкой нет линии.</p>

<p class="note"><strong>Заметка:</strong> Хорошей практикой является открытие всех путей с помощью команды <strong>moveto</strong>, потому что без начального <strong>moveto</strong> команды будут выполняться с начальной точки, где бы это ни было ранее, что может привести к неопределённому поведению.</p>
