*** ** * ** ***

Specifies how closed shapes (e.g. rectangles, ovals) are wound (oriented) when they are added to a path.

## Summary

| ### Enum Values |
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/graphics/Path.Direction#Clockwise` | The shape is wound in clockwise order. |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/graphics/Path.Direction#CounterClockwise` | The shape is wound in counter-clockwise order. |

| ### Public functions |
|---|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/graphics/Path.Direction` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/graphics/Path.Direction#valueOf(kotlin.String)(value: https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-string/index.html)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. | Cmn |
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-array/index.html<https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/graphics/Path.Direction>` | `https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/graphics/Path.Direction#values()()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. | Cmn |

## Enum Values

### Clockwise

```
val Path.Direction.Clockwise: Path.Direction
```

The shape is wound in clockwise order.

### CounterClockwise

```
val Path.Direction.CounterClockwise: Path.Direction
```

The shape is wound in counter-clockwise order.

## Public functions

### valueOf

Cmn Added in [1.7.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-ui#1.7.0)

```
fun valueOf(value: String): Path.Direction
```

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

| Throws |
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-illegal-argument-exception/index.html` | if this enum type has no constant with the specified name |

### values

Cmn Added in [1.7.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-ui#1.7.0)

```
fun values(): Array<Path.Direction>
```

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.

This method may be used to iterate over the constants.

The function returns a new instance of the array on every call. The array could be mutated, so working with it may also require defensive copying. Consider using `entries` property as a more efficient alternative returning an immutable list of enum entries.

## Public properties

### entries

Cmn

```
val entries: EnumEntries<Path.Direction>
```

Returns an immutable `https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin.enums/-enum-entries/index.html` list containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.
