<moveTo> (Move Path To)

This element specifies a set of new coordinates to move the shape cursor to. This element is only used for drawing a custom geometry. When this element is utilized the pt element is used to specify a new set of shape coordinates that the shape cursor should be moved to. This will not draw a line or curve to this new position from the old position but simply move the cursor to a new starting position. It is only when a path drawing element such as <lnTo> is used that a portion of the path will be drawn.

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>

Notice the <moveTo> element advances the y coordinates before any actual lines are drawn. ]
