     Adds a line segment to the path from the current point to the
     beginning of the current sub-path, (the most recent point passed
     to 'cairoMoveTo'), and closes this sub-path. After this call the
     current point will be at the joined endpoint of the sub-path.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     cairoClosePath(cr)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    'cr': ['Cairo']  a cairo context

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The behavior of 'cairoClosePath' is distinct from simply calling
     'cairoLineTo' with the equivalent coordinate in the case of
     stroking. When a closed sub-path is stroked, there are no caps on
     the ends of the sub-path. Instead, there is a line join connecting
     the final and initial segments of the sub-path.

     If there is no current point before the call to 'cairoClosePath',
     this function will have no effect.

     Note: As of cairo version 1.2.4 any call to 'cairoClosePath' will
     place an explicit MOVE_TO element into the path immediately after
     the CLOSE_PATH element, (which can be seen in 'cairoCopyPath' for
     example). This can simplify path processing in some cases as it
     may not be necessary to save the "last move_to point" during
     processing as the MOVE_TO immediately after the CLOSE_PATH will
     provide that point.
