Possible to get points

[SridharRamasami]

Hi,
I went through the documentation and the questions here on github and could not find an answer.

Here is my situation. I need to read in an svg and on some of the contained paths move the points to a different position and then save the svg.

Questions:

1. is it possible to get the points from the path?
2. once I have recalculated the new positions for the paths is there a way to create the resulting path and replace it in the original svg?

Thanks
