Parse SVG paths into matplotlib ``Path`` objects for plotting.

A path in SVG is defined by a 'path' element which contains a ``d="(path data)"`` attribute that contains moveto, line, curve (both cubic and quadratic Béziers), arc and closepath instructions. Matplotlib actually supports all of these instructions natively but doesn't provide a parser or fully compatible API.

Based on:

1. `svg_parse <https://github.com/rougier/LinuxMag-HS-2014/blob/master/matplotlib/firefox.py>`_ for matplotlib by Nicolas P. Rougier (BSD license).

2. `svg.path <https://github.com/regebro/svg.path>`_ by Lennart Regebro (MIT license).

This module adds the path commands missing from (1), including smooth curves and endpoint-parameterized elliptical arcs.

	>>> from svgpath2mpl import parse_path
	>>> parse_path('M 100 100 L 300 100')
	Path(array([[ 100.,  100.], [ 300.,  100.]]), array([1, 2], dtype=uint8))
