Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following 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.

[Visual Basic] 
Public Sub DrawPathEllipse(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
        
[C#] 
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);
}
