/**
 *  Curve paths are composed of path segments
 *  and can be used as mapping functions, and to define the shape of line visuals.
 *
 *  The curve path can be constructed from two primitives: arcs and lines. The arcs
 *  and lines can be defined through methods AppendArcL() and AppendLineL() respectively.
 *
 *  Coordinate values used when defining arcs and lines have to match the base unit type
 *  of the visual associated with this curve path. So for instance, if this curve path
 *  is used to define a layout using CAlfCurvePathLayout the definition of arcs and
 *  lines have to match the base unit of the layout. If this path is used to define a
 *  CAlfLineVisual, the coordinate values has to be defined in terms of base units affecting
 *  the CAlfLineVisual.
 *
 *  In the code example below a curve path is defined to a curve path layout. The curve
 *  path is constructed from two line segments and one arc segment and defines a path
 *  that starts from the bottom left corner of the layout and ends in the bottom right corner
 *  of the layout. The total length of the curve path is 4.0 units. Notice that the coordinates
 *  of the curve path are defined in base units of the layout.
 *
 *  @code
 * 	// Create a new curve path layout
 * 	CAlfCurvePathLayout* layout = CAlfCurvePathLayout::AddNewL(*this);
 * 	layout->SetBaseUnit(TAlfMetric(1.0f, EAlfUnitNormalized));
	
 *	// Construct the layout path
 *	CAlfCurvePath& path = layout->CurvePath();
 *	path.AppendLineL(TAlfRealPoint(0.0f, 1.0f), TAlfRealPoint(0.0f, 0.5f), 1);
 *	path.AppendArcL(TAlfRealPoint(0.5f, 0.5f), TAlfRealSize(0.5f, 0.5f), 180.0f, 360.0f, 2);
 *	path.AppendLineL(TAlfRealPoint(1.0f, 0.5f), TAlfRealPoint(1.0f, 1.0f), 1);
