Path Array #!N #!EC #!N #!N Encodes linear regularity of connections. 
It is a set of  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n-1 #!EF line segments joining 
 #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF points, where the  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   i #!EF th line 
segment joins points  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   i #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   i+1 #!EF . 
Path Arrays are frequently combined as the terms of a Mesh
