Using paths lets you fill a character string with a complicated or nonrepeating pattern. The following sequence is recommended:

• Select the required outline font, and set the required character attributes.
  
• Create a path by calling GpiBeginPath, GpiCharString, and GpiEndPath.
  
• Set the required pattern symbol and other AREABUNDLE pattern attributes.
  
• Fill the path using GpiFillPath.

The following figure provides an example of using paths with fill patterns to create characters.
