Examples
This example is for a circular shape. Notice that UninitializedPath is used and reset.
/// <summary>
/// Gets the GraphicsPath of the geometry.
/// Returns a reference to the path - do not dispose it.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="boundingBox">The bounding box of the shape.</param>
/// <returns>The GraphicsPath of the geometry.</returns>
protected override GraphicsPath GetPath(RectangleD boundingBox)
{
GraphicsPath path = UninitializedPath;
path.Reset();
path.AddEllipse((float)boundingBox.X, (float)boundingBox.Y, (float)boundingBox.Width, (float)boundingBox.Height);
return path;
