func primitiveRepresentation() -> GSPath

- (GSPath *) primitiveRepresentation;

primitiveRepresentation() -> GSPath

Discussion

Node types are limited to GSNodeTypeLine, GSNodeTypeCubicCurve, GSNodeTypeQuadraticCurve, and GSNodeTypeOffCurve.
Connections are limited to GSNodeConnectionSharp and GSNodeConnectionSmooth.
Path components (corners, caps, segments, brushes) are decomposed.

Returns self when the path is already primitive.
