Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:

  • Creates a graphics path object and adds an ellipse to it.

  • Creates a black pen.

  • Draws the graphics path to the screen.

public:
 void DrawPathEllipse( PaintEventArgs^ e )
 {
 // Create graphics path object and add ellipse.
 GraphicsPath^ graphPath = gcnew GraphicsPath;
 graphPath->AddEllipse( 0, 0, 200, 100 );

 // Create pen.
 Pen^ blackPen = gcnew Pen( Color::Black,3.0f );

 // Draw graphics path to screen.
 e->Graphics->DrawPath( blackPen, graphPath );
 }
public void DrawPathEllipse(PaintEventArgs e)
{
 
 // Create graphics path object and add ellipse.
 GraphicsPath graphPath = new GraphicsPath();
 graphPath.AddEllipse(0, 0, 200, 100);
 
 // Create pen.
 Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3);
 
 // Draw graphics path to screen.
 e.Graphics.DrawPath(blackPen, graphPath);
}
Public Sub DrawPathEllipse(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

 ' Create graphics path object and add ellipse.
 Dim graphPath As New GraphicsPath
 graphPath.AddEllipse(0, 0, 200, 100)

 ' Create pen.
 Dim blackPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3)

 ' Draw graphics path to screen.
 e.Graphics.DrawPath(blackPen, graphPath)
End Sub

Remarks

The current transformation in the graphic context is applied to the GraphicsPath before it is drawn.
