_Content coming soon._ Shape factories provide predictable path data; path operations sample,
slice, simplify, smooth, morph, intersect, dash, and offset it. This chapter teaches the
compose-as-data workflow before any stitch mode is chosen.

<Run>{`import std.shapes.heartpath as heart
import std.pathops.dashes as dashpath

let outline = heart(38)
for dash in dashpath(outline, 4, 2) [
up setpos(first(dash)) down
sewpath(dash)
]`}</Run>
