# `GSLayer connectAllOpenPaths`

*Instance Method*

Connects coincident endpoints of open paths.

## Declaration

```swift
func connectAllOpenPaths()
```

```objc
- (void) connectAllOpenPaths;
```

```python
connectAllOpenPaths()
```

## Discussion

When the layer has a selection, only connections between a selected and an unselected endpoint are made. Paths must belong to the same shape group.
