By connected I mean, say I feed in a Circle into Path, and then convert Path to pwd2 type. Now, if I convert this back using path_from_piecewise, I get PathVector. But I prefer to get a Path back and I know that the input curves share final point and the next initial point. Is there a way to convert such PathVector to Path?

Thank you Krzysztof!

One way I think can be used is to convert path to pwd2, and convert back again to pathVector using path_from_piecewise() because internally it only uses Bezier curves, but I am wondering if there is a more direct way to do this.

Look at pathv_to_linear_and_cubic_beziers(), I think it was either in helper/geom.h or in util/geom.h. Going via SBasis is not recommended.

I don't understand this. How are they "connected"? The final point of one path is equal to the initial point of the next one?
