-            be applied to the path.
-        remove_nans : {False, True}, optional
-            If True, will remove all NaNs from the path and

+        remove_nans : bool, optional

one, must be a four-tuple (x1, y1, x2, y2)
             defining a rectangle in which to clip the path.
         snap : None or bool, optional
-            If None, auto-snap to pixels, to reduce
-            fuzziness of rectilinear lines.  If True, force snapping, and
-            if False, don't snap.
+            If True, snap all nodes to pixels; if False, don't snap them.
+            If None, perform snapping if the path contains only segments

         stroke_width : float, optional
-            The width of the stroke being drawn.  Needed
-             as a hint for the snapping algorithm.
+            The width of the stroke being drawn (used for path snapping).
         simplify : None or bool, optional
-            If True, perform simplification, to remove
-             vertices that do not affect the appearance of the path.  If
-             False, perform no simplification.  If None, use the

-        curves : {True, False}, optional
-            If True, curve segments will be returned as curve
-            segments.  If False, all curves will be converted to line
-            segments.
+            Whether to simplify the path by removing vertices
