Okay, but if you use multiple paths, how can you control the fill of the object? For instance, I have something like a deformed rectangle, where every side is a curve. However, I want its right side to be stroked differently (or not at all). But if I delete that path segment, the fill is bounded by ...

Suppose I want a path segment to be stroked differently than the rest of the path -- different color or dashed, etc. Can I do that?

If I can't do that with a single path, what would be the best way to get the desired effect using other methods?

Thanks.
