Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, an OnPaint event object. The code performs the following actions:

• Creates a path and adds several primitives to the path.

• Draws the path's points array to the screen.

• Draws the reversed points array to the screen.

Notice that the second listing of points is in reverse order from the first.

void GraphicsPathReverseExample( PaintEventArgs^ e )
{
   // Create a path and add a line, ellipse, and arc.
   GraphicsPath^ myPath = gcnew GraphicsPath;
   myPath->AddLine( Point(0,0), Point(100,100) );
   myPath->AddEllipse( 100, 100, 200, 250 );
   myPath->AddArc( 300, 250, 100, 100, 0, 90 );

   // Draw the first set of points to the screen.
   DrawPoints2( e, myPath->PathPoints, 20 );

   // Call GraphicsPath.Reverse.
   myPath->Reverse();

   // Draw the reversed set of points to the screen.
   DrawPoints2( e, myPath->PathPoints, 150 );
}

//End GraphicsPathReverseExample.
// A helper function GraphicsPathReverseExample is used to draw the
// points to the screen.
void DrawPoints2( PaintEventArgs^ e, array<PointF>^ pathPoints, int xOffset )
{
   int y = 20;
   System::Drawing::Font^ myFont = gcnew System::Drawing::Font( "Arial",8 );
   for ( int i = 0; i < pathPoints->Length; i++ )
   {
      e->Graphics->DrawString( String::Concat( pathPoints[ i ].X, ", ", pathPoints[ i ].Y ), myFont, Brushes::Black, (float)xOffset, (float)y );
      y += 20;

   }
}
// End DrawPoints

    // Create a path and add a line, ellipse, and arc.
    GraphicsPath myPath = new GraphicsPath();
    myPath.AddLine(new Point(0, 0), new Point(100, 100));
    myPath.AddEllipse(100, 100, 200, 250);
    myPath.AddArc(300, 250, 100, 100, 0, 90);
