# Interface: SubPath {#interface-subpath}


Defined in: [forms/path.ts:125](https://github.com/jbcom/lifecycle-kit/blob/074e4e7b8038d3e2de9eb44c4b5b5aee0ef02b48/src/forms/path.ts#L125)

A run of segments from a starting point.

`closed` is explicit and not inferred from whether the last point equals the
first. Deliberately open strokes — a tentacle, a filament, a belly stripe — and
those two cases differ in how they fill and where they join even when the
endpoints coincide. Inferring closure would silently fill a tentacle that
happened to curl back on itself.

A subpath is the unit that lets one `Path` hold a body and its six legs
without the renderer guessing where one ends and the next begins. This is
exactly `moveTo` followed by drawing commands in both back ends.
