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 an array of three rectangles.
- Draws the rectangles to the screen.
[Visual Basic, C#] Note This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of DrawRectangles. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.
[Visual Basic] Public Sub DrawRectanglesRectangleF(e As PaintEventArgs) ' Create pen. Dim blackPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3) ' Create array of rectangles. Dim rects As RectangleF() = {New RectangleF(0F, 0F, 100F, 200F), _ New RectangleF(100F, 200F, 250F, 50F), _ New RectangleF(300F, 0F, 50F, 100F)} ' Draw rectangles to screen. e.Graphics.DrawRectangles(blackPen, rects) End Sub [C#] public void DrawRectanglesRectangleF(PaintEventArgs e) { // Create pen. Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3); // Create array of rectangles. RectangleF[] rects = { new RectangleF( 0.0F, 0.0F, 100.0F, 200.0F), new RectangleF(100.0F, 200.0F, 250.0F, 50.0F), new RectangleF(300.0F, 0.0F, 50.0F, 100.0F) }; // Draw rectangles to screen. e.Graphics.DrawRectangles(blackPen, rects); }
