AddEllipse(Rectangle)

Source:

GraphicsPath.cs

Adds an ellipse to the current path.

public:
 void AddEllipse(System::Drawing::Rectangle rect);

public void AddEllipse (System.Drawing.Rectangle rect);

member this.AddEllipse : System.Drawing.Rectangle -> unit

Public Sub AddEllipse (rect As Rectangle)

Parameters

rect

Rectangle

A Rectangle that represents the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse.

Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, an OnPaint event object. The code performs the following actions:

Creates a bounding rectangle that defines an ellipse.

Creates a path and adds the ellipse to the path.

Draws the path to screen.

private:
   void AddEllipseExample( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create a path and add an ellipse.
      Rectangle myEllipse = Rectangle(20,20,100,50);
      GraphicsPath^ myPath = gcnew GraphicsPath;
      myPath->AddEllipse( myEllipse );

      // Draw the path to the screen.
      Pen^ myPen = gcnew Pen( Color::Black,2.0f );
      e->Graphics->DrawPath( myPen, myPath );
   }

private void AddEllipseExample(PaintEventArgs e)
{
             
    // Create a path and add an ellipse.
    Rectangle myEllipse = new Rectangle(20, 20, 100, 50);
    GraphicsPath myPath = new GraphicsPath();
    myPath.AddEllipse(myEllipse);
             
    // Draw the path to the screen.
    Pen myPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 2);
    e.Graphics.DrawPath(myPen, myPath);
}

Public Sub AddEllipseExample(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create a path and add an ellipse.
    Dim myEllipse As New Rectangle(20, 20, 100, 50)
    Dim myPath As New GraphicsPath
    myPath.AddEllipse(myEllipse)

    ' Draw the path to the screen.
    Dim myPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 2)
    e.Graphics.DrawPath(myPen, myPath)
End Sub

AddEllipse(RectangleF)

Source:

GraphicsPath.cs

Adds an ellipse to the current path.

public:
 void AddEllipse(System::Drawing::RectangleF rect);

public void AddEllipse (System.Drawing.RectangleF rect);

member this.AddEllipse : System.Drawing.RectangleF -> unit

Public Sub AddEllipse (rect As RectangleF)

Parameters

rect

RectangleF

A RectangleF that represents the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse.

Examples

For an example, see AddEllipse(Rectangle).

AddEllipse(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32)

Source:

GraphicsPath.cs

public:
 void AddEllipse(int x, int y, int width, int height);

public void AddEllipse (int x, int y, int width, int height);

member this.AddEllipse : int * int * int * int -> unit

Public Sub AddEllipse (x As Integer, y As Integer, width As Integer, height As Integer)

Parameters

public:
 void AddEllipse(float x, float y, float width, float height);

public void AddEllipse (float x, float y, float width, float height);

member this.AddEllipse : single * single * single * single -> unit

Public Sub AddEllipse (x As Single, y As Single, width As Single, height As Single)

Parameters

x

Single

The x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse.

y
