Public companion functions

combine

fun combine(operation: PathOperation, path1: Path, path2: Path): Path

Combines the two paths according to the manner specified by the given operation.

The resulting path will be constructed from non-overlapping contours. The curve order is reduced where possible so that cubics may be turned into quadratics, and quadratics maybe turned into lines.

Throws IllegalArgumentException as Android framework does not support this API
