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

  • Creates a graphics path and adds an ellipse to the path.

  • Sets the clipping region to the elliptical path.

The result is a filled, black ellipse.
