<close> (Close Shape Path)

This element specifies the ending of a series of lines and curves in the creation path of a custom geometric shape. When this element is encountered, the generating application should consider the corresponding path closed. That is, any further lines or curves that follow this element should be ignored.

Note: 
<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. ]
