The closepath operator tells postscript that the ends of the path are
to be joined with a mitered connection. If they are not actually the
same point, the path will be completed with a straight line. This detail
is covered in chapter 3 of the Adobe blue book (in my admittedly outdated 
copy anyway).  Additional line joining details are covered in chapter 10.
