- Creates a black pen.
- Draws the graphics path to the screen.
[Visual Basic] Public Sub DrawPathEllipse(e As PaintEventArgs) ' Create graphics path object and add ellipse. Dim graphPath As New GraphicsPath() graphPath.AddEllipse(0, 0, 200, 100) ' Create pen. Dim blackPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3) ' Draw graphics path to screen. e.Graphics.DrawPath(blackPen, graphPath) End Sub [C#] public void DrawPathEllipse(PaintEventArgs e) { // Create graphics path object and add ellipse. GraphicsPath graphPath = new GraphicsPath(); graphPath.AddEllipse(0, 0, 200, 100); // Create pen. Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3); // Draw graphics path to screen. e.Graphics.DrawPath(blackPen, graphPath); }
