Gets a flattened copy of the current path and returns it to the user as a <strong class="classname">CairoPath.</strong>

This function is like <span class="methodname"><a href="cairocontext.copypath.html" class="methodname">CairoContext::copyPath()</a></span> except that any curves
in the path will be approximated with piecewise-linear approximations,
(accurate to within the current tolerance value). That is, the result is guaranteed to not
have any elements of type CAIRO_PATH_CURVE_TO which will instead be replaced by a series of
CAIRO_PATH_LINE_TO elements.
