Why would you use Path.Direction.CW and CCW in android?

I can't find any explanation as to why a closed shape, added to a Path would want to be Clockwise or Counterclockwise and what would it mean for a closed shape, say an Oval to be added CW o CCW to a path, in the end you would still get and oval added to a path?

These values define the winding of your path. It becomes important depending on your fill type (see Path.FillType). Here is an article that provides a fairly clear explanation of how winding rules affect path rendering: http://blogs.adobe.com/webplatform/2013/01/30/winding-rules-in-canvas/ (Winding rules are not Android specific.)
