<pathLst> (List of Shape Paths)

This element specifies the entire path that is to make up a single geometric shape. The <pathLst> can consist of many individual paths within it.

example: 
<a:custGeom>
  <a:pathLst>
    <a:path w="2824222" h="590309">
      <a:moveTo>
        <a:pt x="0" y="428263"/>
      </a:moveTo>
      <a:lnTo>
        <a:pt x="1620455" y="590309"/>
      </a:lnTo>
      <a:lnTo>
        <a:pt x="2824222" y="173620"/>
      </a:lnTo>
      <a:lnTo>
        <a:pt x="1562582" y="0"/>
      </a:lnTo>
      <a:close/>
    </a:path>
  </a:pathLst>
</a:custGeom>

In the above example there is specified a four sided geometric shape that has all straight sides. While we only see three lines being drawn via the <lnTo> element there are actually four sides because the last point of (x=1562585, y=0) is connected to the first point in the creation path via a <lnTo> element. ]
