+title: Custom Path Generation
+description: Demonstrates how to provide a custom function to generate SVG path strings from points using the getSvgPathFromPoints prop.
+---
+import { CustomPathGenerationExample } from "../../../examples/CustomPathGeneration";
+
+The `getSvgPathFromPoints` prop allows you to define your own logic for converting a series of points into an SVG path string. This gives you full control over the appearance of the strokes, enabling you to create straight lines, dashed lines, or any other custom path shape.
+
+Below is an example that uses `getSvgPathFromPoints` to render dashed lines.

+title: ReactSketchCanvas Props
+description: Props for the ReactSketchCanvas component.
+---
+
+The `ReactSketchCanvas` component accepts the following props:
+
+- **`getSvgPathFromPoints`**:
+ - **Type**: `(points: Point[]) => string`
+ - **Description**: Optional. Callback to generate a custom SVG path string from points. This allows you to override the default bezier curve smoothing and implement any path generation logic you need. The function receives an array of `Point` objects and should return a valid SVG path string.

+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Path Generation
+
+You can provide a custom function to generate the SVG path string from an array of points. This allows you to override the default bezier curve smoothing and implement any path generation logic you need.
+
+The `getSvgPathFromPoints` prop takes a function that receives an array of `Point` objects and should return a valid SVG path string.
+
+```jsx
+import * as React from "react";
+import { ReactSketchCanvas, Point } from "react-sketch-canvas";
+
+const MyCustomSketch = () => {
+ const styles = {
+ border: "0.0625rem solid #9c9c9c",
+ borderRadius: "0.25rem",
+ };
+
+ const generateStraightLinePath = (points: Point[]): string => {
+ if (points.length === 0) {
+ return "";
+ }
+ let path = `M ${points[0].x} ${points[0].y}`;
+ for (let i = 1; i < points.length; i++) {
+ path += ` L ${points[i].x} ${points[i].y}`;
+ }
+ return path;
+ };
+
+ return (
+
+ );
+};
+
+export default MyCustomSketch;
