The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API) included with:
```
    - Microsoft Windows 95 version 4.0
```

Windows 95 supports the full set of Win32 path APIs. However, only a limited set of primitives can be used to build a path. Windows 95 supports the following primitives to build paths:

ExtTextOut LineTo MoveToEx PolyBezier PolyBezierTo Polygon Polyline PolylineTo PolyPolygon PolyPolyline TextOut

All other Win32 primitives will be ignored if used in a path. As with other Win32 primitives in Windows 95, paths are not mapped pixel-by-pixel to Windows NT; they support only 16-bit coordinates.
