Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the CustomLineCap constructor. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form. Handle the form's Paint event and call DrawCaps from the form's Paint event-handling method, passing e as PaintEventArgs.

protected void DrawCaps(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    GraphicsPath hPath = new GraphicsPath();

    // Create the outline for our custom end cap.
    hPath.AddLine(new Point(0, 0), new Point(0, 5));
    hPath.AddLine(new Point(0, 5), new Point(5, 1));
    hPath.AddLine(new Point(5, 1), new Point(3, 1));

    // Construct the hook-shaped end cap.
    CustomLineCap HookCap = new CustomLineCap(null, hPath);

    // Set the start cap and end cap of the HookCap to be rounded.
    HookCap.SetStrokeCaps(LineCap.Round, LineCap.Round);

    // Create a pen and set end custom start and end
    // caps to the hook cap.
    Pen customCapPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 5);
    customCapPen.CustomStartCap = HookCap;
    customCapPen.CustomEndCap = HookCap;

    // Create a second pen using the start and end caps from
    // the hook cap.
    Pen capPen = new Pen(Color.Red, 10);
    LineCap startCap;
    LineCap endCap;
    HookCap.GetStrokeCaps(out startCap, out endCap);
    capPen.StartCap = startCap;
    capPen.EndCap = endCap;

    // Create a line to draw.
    Point[] points = { new Point(100, 100), new Point(200, 50), 
        new Point(250, 300) };

    // Draw the lines.
    e.Graphics.DrawLines(capPen, points);
    e.Graphics.DrawLines(customCapPen, points);
}

Protected Sub DrawCaps(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
    Dim hPath As New GraphicsPath()

    ' Create the outline for our custom end cap.
    hPath.AddLine(New Point(0, 0), New Point(0, 5))
    hPath.AddLine(New Point(0, 5), New Point(5, 1))
    hPath.AddLine(New Point(5, 1), New Point(3, 1))

    ' Construct the hook-shaped end cap.
    Dim HookCap As New CustomLineCap(Nothing, hPath)

    ' Set the start cap and end cap of the HookCap to be rounded.
    HookCap.SetStrokeCaps(LineCap.Round, LineCap.Round)

    ' Create a pen and set end custom start and end
    ' caps to the hook cap.
    Dim customCapPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 5)
    customCapPen.CustomStartCap = HookCap
    customCapPen.CustomEndCap = HookCap

    ' Create a second pen using the start and end caps from
    ' the hook cap.
    Dim capPen As New Pen(Color.Red, 10)
    Dim startCap As LineCap
    Dim endCap As LineCap
    HookCap.GetStrokeCaps(startCap, endCap)
    capPen.StartCap = startCap
    capPen.EndCap = endCap

    ' Create a line to draw.
    Dim points As Point() = {New Point(100, 100), New Point(200, 50), _
        New Point(250, 300)}

    ' Draw the lines.
    e.Graphics.DrawLines(capPen, points)
    e.Graphics.DrawLines(customCapPen, points)

End Sub

Remarks

CustomLineCap uses a fill mode of "winding" regardless of the fill mode specified for the operation.

The fillPath and strokePath parameters cannot be used at the same time. One parameter must be passed a null value. If neither parameter is passed a null value, fillPath will be ignored. If strokePath is null, fillPath should intercept the negative y-axis.

CustomLineCap(GraphicsPath, GraphicsPath, LineCap)

Source:

CustomLineCap.cs

Initializes a new instance of the CustomLineCap class from the specified existing LineCap enumeration with the specified outline and fill.

public:
 CustomLineCap(System::Drawing::Drawing2D::GraphicsPath ^ fillPath, System::Drawing::Drawing2D::GraphicsPath ^ strokePath, System::Drawing::Drawing2D::LineCap baseCap);

public CustomLineCap (System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath? fillPath, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath? strokePath, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LineCap baseCap);

new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CustomLineCap : System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath * System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath * System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LineCap -> System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CustomLineCap

Public Sub New (fillPath As GraphicsPath, strokePath As GraphicsPath, baseCap As LineCap)

Parameters

fillPath

GraphicsPath

A GraphicsPath object that defines the fill for the custom cap.

strokePath

GraphicsPath

A GraphicsPath object that defines the outline of the custom cap.

baseCap

LineCap

The line cap from which to create the custom cap.

Remarks

CustomLineCap uses a fill mode of "winding" regardless of the fill mode specified for the operation.

The fillPath and strokePath parameters cannot be used at the same time. One parameter must be passed a null value. If neither parameter is passed a null value, fillPath will be ignored. If strokePath is null, fillPath should intercept the negative y-axis.

CustomLineCap(GraphicsPath, GraphicsPath, LineCap, Single)

Source:

CustomLineCap.cs

Initializes a new instance of the CustomLineCap class from the specified existing LineCap enumeration with the specified outline, fill, and inset.

public:
 CustomLineCap(System::Drawing::Drawing2D::GraphicsPath ^ fillPath, System::Drawing::Drawing2D::GraphicsPath ^ strokePath, System::Drawing::Drawing2D::LineCap baseCap, float baseInset);

public CustomLineCap (System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath? fillPath, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath? strokePath, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LineCap baseCap, float baseInset);

new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CustomLineCap : System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath * System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath * System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LineCap * single -> System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CustomLineCap

Public Sub New (fillPath As GraphicsPath, strokePath As GraphicsPath, baseCap As LineCap, baseInset As Single)

Parameters

fillPath

GraphicsPath

A GraphicsPath object that defines the fill for the custom cap.

strokePath

GraphicsPath

A GraphicsPath object that defines the outline of the custom cap.

baseCap

LineCap

The line cap from which to create the custom cap.

baseInset

Single

The distance between the cap and the line.

Remarks

CustomLineCap uses a fill mode of "winding" regardless of the fill mode specified for the operation.

The fillPath and strokePath parameters cannot be used at the same time. One parameter must be passed a null value. If neither parameter is passed a null value, fillPath will be ignored. If strokePath is null, fillPath should intercept the negative y-axis.
