The following creates a path in three segments: two diagonal lines that form a
V
, and a curved line above
the

// Save the current preferences
var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits
var startTypeUnits = app.preferences.typeUnits
var startDisplayDialogs = app.displayDialogs
// Set Adobe Photoshop CS3 to use pixels and display no dialogs
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS
app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.PIXELS
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO
// first close all the open documents
while (app.documents.length) {
app.activeDocument.close()
}
// create a document to work with
var docRef = app.documents.add(5000, 7000, 72, "Simple Line")
//line 1--it’s a straight line so the coordinates for anchor, left, and right
//for each point have the same coordinates
var lineArray = new Array()
lineArray[0] = new PathPointInfo
lineArray[0].kind = PointKind.CORNERPOINT
