StreamGeometryContext.PolyBezierTo Method

Definition

Draws one or more connected Bezier curves.

public:
 abstract void PolyBezierTo(System::Collections::Generic::IList<System::Windows::Point> ^ points, bool isStroked, bool isSmoothJoin);
public abstract void PolyBezierTo (System.Collections.Generic.IList<System.Windows.Point> points, bool isStroked, bool isSmoothJoin);
abstract member PolyBezierTo : System.Collections.Generic.IList<System.Windows.Point> * bool * bool -> unit
Public MustOverride Sub PolyBezierTo (points As IList(Of Point), isStroked As Boolean, isSmoothJoin As Boolean)

Parameters

points
IList<Point>

The list of points that specify control points and destination points for one or more Bezier curves. The number of points in this list should be a multiple of three.

isStroked
Boolean

true to make the segment stroked when a Pen is used to render the segment; otherwise, false.

isSmoothJoin
Boolean

true to treat the join between this segment and the previous segment as a corner when stroked with a Pen; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

An attempt was made to add a segment without starting a figure by calling the BeginFigure(Point, Boolean, Boolean) method.

Examples

The following example shows how to draw multiple connected Bezier curves using the PolyBezierTo method.

Remarks

The first point in points specifies the first control point, the next specifies the second control point, the third point specifies the end point, the next point specifies the first control point of the next curve, and so on.

This method uses the end point of the previous segment as its starting point. If this is the first segment in a figure, it uses the point specified by the BeginFigure method as its start point.

A StreamGeometry cannot be serialized if it contains a Transform or any non-stroked or unfilled segments.
