How to do it...

The following code block defines points and associated lines and curves to be drawn to form the overall picture:

1. Define the points along with the first curve to be drawn

verts1 = [(-1.5, 0.),             # left, bottom          (0., 1.),               # left, top          (1.5, 0.),              # right, top          (0., -1.0),             # right, bottom          (-1.5, 0.)]             # ignored

2. Plot the graph connecting the points defined in step 1:

codes1 = [Path.MOVETO,    # Go to first point specified in vert1          Path.LINETO,    # Draw a line from first point to second                             point          Path.LINETO,    # Draw another line from current point to                             next point          Path.LINETO,    # Draw another line from current point to                             next point          Path.CLOSEPOLY] # Close the loop

3. Create the complete path with points and lines/curves defined in step 1 and
