LineShape Constructor (Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the LineShape class, specifying the coordinates for the line.

Namespace:   Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

public LineShape(
    int x1,
    int y1,
    int x2,
    int y2
)

public:
LineShape(
    int x1,
    int y1,
    int x2,
    int y2
)

new : 
        x1:int *
        y1:int *
        x2:int *
        y2:int -> LineShape

Public Sub New (
    x1 As Integer,
    y1 As Integer,
    x2 As Integer,
    y2 As Integer
)

Parameters

• x1
  Type: System.Int32

  The X (horizontal) coordinate of the starting point of the line.

• y1
  Type: System.Int32

  The Y (vertical) coordinate of the starting point of the line.

• x2
  Type: System.Int32

  The X (horizontal) coordinate of the ending point of the line.

• y2
  Type: System.Int32

  The Y (vertical) coordinate of the ending point of the line.

Remarks

A LineShape cannot be displayed directly on a form or container control; it must be hosted on a ShapeContainer object. After you initialize a LineShape, you will have to set its Parent property either to an existing ShapeContainer or to a new instance of ShapeContainer.

Examples

The following example initializes a ShapeContainer and a LineShape, sets the Parent property of the LineShape to the ShapeContainer, and displays a diagonal line with the specified coordinates.

Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer canvas = 
    new Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer();
Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.LineShape line1 = 
    new Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.LineShape(0, 0, 1000, 1000);
// Set the form as the parent of the ShapeContainer.
canvas.Parent = this;
// Set the ShapeContainer as the parent of the LineShape.
line1.Parent = canvas;

Dim canvas As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer
Dim line1 As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.LineShape(0,
    0, 1000, 1000)
' Set the form as the parent of the ShapeContainer.
canvas.Parent = Me
' Set the ShapeContainer as the parent of the LineShape.
line1.Parent = canvas
