Actually, both syntax are valid. I think the problem in you svg parser is that you're changing the reference point each time you iterate in points.
For example consider the path: m 100,200 c 100,100 400,100 400,200 z => (m P0 c P1 P2 P3 z) Your parser ended with vertex at (100.0, -200.0), (200.0, -300.0), (600.0, -400.0), (1000.0, -600.0) which corresponds to [P0, P0+P1, P1+P2, P2+P3] but you want [P0, P0+P1, P0+P2, P0+P3] Nicolas > On 05 Mar 2015, at 00:35, Jason Moore <moorepa...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Actually the notation I have is valid SVG path data.
