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 with the Replace member.
Fills a large rectangle with a solid black brush.
The result is a filled, black ellipse.
private void SetClipPathCombine(PaintEventArgs e) { // Create graphics path. GraphicsPath clipPath = new GraphicsPath(); clipPath.AddEllipse(0, 0, 200, 100); // Set clipping region to path. e.Graphics.SetClip(clipPath, CombineMode.Replace); // Fill rectangle to demonstrate clipping region. e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Black), 0, 0, 500, 300); }
