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 performs the following actions:
- Code creates a black pen.
- Creates an array of points of segments of the line.
- Draws the connected line segments to the screen.
[Visual Basic, C#] Note This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of DrawLines. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.
[Visual Basic] Public Sub DrawLinesPointF(e As PaintEventArgs) ' Create pen. Dim blackPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3) ' Create array of points that define lines to draw. Dim points As PointF() = {New PointF(10F, 10F), _ New PointF(10F, 100F), New PointF(200F, 50F), _ New PointF(250F, 300F)} 'Draw lines to screen. e.Graphics.DrawLines(blackPen, points) End Sub [C#] public void DrawLinesPointF(PaintEventArgs e) { // Create pen. Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3); // Create array of points that define lines to draw. PointF[] points = { new PointF( 10.0F, 10.0F), new PointF( 10.0F, 100.0F), new PointF(200.0F, 50.0F), new PointF(250.0F, 300.0F) }; //Draw lines to screen. e.Graphics.DrawLines(pen, points); }
