description: "Adds the specified SVG [path data](https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/paths.html#PathData) to this
[Path]. The SVG path data encodes a series of instructions that will be applied to this path. For
instance, the following path data:

`M200,300 Q400,50 600,300 L1000,300`

Will generate the following series of instructions for this path:
```
moveTo(200f, 300f)
quadraticTo(400f, 50f, 600f, 300f)
lineTo(1000f, 300f)
```

To convert a [Path] to its SVG path data representation, please refer to [Path.toSvg]."

Adds the specified SVG `path data`(https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/paths.html#PathData) to this
`Path`. The SVG path data encodes a series of instructions that will be applied to this path. For
instance, the following path data:

`M200,300 Q400,50 600,300 L1000,300`

Will generate the following series of instructions for this path:
```
moveTo(200f, 300f)
quadraticTo(400f, 50f, 600f, 300f)
lineTo(1000f, 300f)
```
