Return Value
The GraphicsPath this method creates, cast as an object.
The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgse, an OnPaint event object. The code performs the following actions:
-
Creates a path.
-
Adds several figures to the path.
-
Draws the path to the screen.
-
Clones a copy of that path.
-
Draws the new path to the screen.
Notice that the call the Clone method must be cast as a GraphicsPath.
