Graphics::ExcludeClip Method (Region)
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The following code 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 100 pixel by 100 pixel rectangle whose upper-left corner is at the coordinate (100, 100).
Sets the clipping region to exclude the rectangle.
Fills a 300 pixel by 300 pixel rectangle whose upper-left corner is at the coordinate (0, 0) with a solid blue brush.
The result is a blue rectangle with a square area toward its lower-right corner missing.
public: void ExcludeClipRegion( PaintEventArgs^ e ) { // Create rectangle for region. Rectangle excludeRect = Rectangle(100,100,200,200); // Create region for exclusion. System::Drawing::Region^ excludeRegion = gcnew System::Drawing::Region( excludeRect ); // Set clipping region to exclude region. e->Graphics->ExcludeClip( excludeRegion ); // Fill large rectangle to show clipping region. e->Graphics->FillRectangle( gcnew SolidBrush( Color::Blue ), 0, 0, 300, 300 ); }
