Depends on your definition of a path. If what you mean is something like a SVG path, then consider the path is defined as a series of command that describe the shape. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/Paths https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial/Pa... From my understanding there is no closed form solution to arbitrary paths defined in that way. So the only way to figure out what the shape looks like, and to figure out if a point is inside or outside, you would need to run all the commands that form the path.
