     <para>
         Symbols are created as QPainterPath objects with additional information defining attributes
         of the path. A QPainterPath is made up of sub paths such as rectangles, ellipses or chains
         of lines and bezier curves. The paths may intersect each other forming complex shapes.

     <para>
         The symbol may be filled using either the winding option which will
         fill the entire path, or the odd even option which fill alternate
         sections of the path.
     </para>
     <para>
         If the path is not filled, the outline will have a defined line width,
         end cap type and line join type.
