Overload List

Draws a Bzier spline defined by four Point structures.

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Sub DrawBezier(Pen, Point, Point, Point, Point)

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Sub DrawBezier(Pen, PointF, PointF, PointF, PointF)
[C#] public void DrawBezier(Pen, PointF, PointF, PointF, PointF);
[C++] public: void DrawBezier(Pen*, PointF, PointF, PointF, PointF);
[JScript] public function DrawBezier(Pen, PointF, PointF, PointF, PointF);

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Sub DrawBezier(Pen, Single, Single, Single, Single, Single, Single, Single, Single)
[C#] public void DrawBezier(Pen, float, float, float, float, float, float, float, float);

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following 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 black pen.
  • Creates the coordinates of the start, end, and two control points for the curve.
  • Draws the Bzier curve to the screen.
[Visual Basic, C#] Note   This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of DrawBezier. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.
[Visual Basic] 
' Begin Example03.
Public Sub DrawBezierFloat(e As PaintEventArgs)
' Create pen.
Dim blackPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3)
' Create coordinates of points for curve.
Dim startX As Single = 100F
Dim startY As Single = 100F
Dim controlX1 As Single = 200F
Dim controlY1 As Single = 10F
Dim controlX2 As Single = 350F
Dim controlY2 As Single = 50F
Dim endX As Single = 500F
Dim endY As Single = 100F
' Draw arc to screen.
e.Graphics.DrawBezier(blackPen, startX, startY, controlX1, _
controlY1, controlX2, controlY2, endX, endY)
End Sub
        
[C#] 
public void DrawBezierFloat(PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Create pen.
Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3);
// Create coordinates of points for curve.
float startX = 100.0F;
float startY = 100.0F;
float controlX1 = 200.0F;
float controlY1 =  10.0F;
float controlX2 = 350.0F;
float controlY2 =  50.0F;
float endX = 500.0F;
float endY = 100.0F;
// Draw arc to screen.
e.Graphics.DrawBezier(blackPen, startX, startY,
controlX1, controlY1,
controlX2, controlY2,
endX, endY);
}
