Examples

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

• Creates a custom line cap by using the GraphicsPath object.

• Creates a CustomLineCap object, firstCap,using the GraphicsPath object just created.

• Creates a clone of firstCap by using the Clone method.

• Sets up the CustomStartCap and CustomEndCap properties of the Pen object, and uses that pen to draw a line and the custom caps to the screen.

C#

private void CloneExample(PaintEventArgs e)
 {
 // Create a Path and add two lines to it,
 // forming a custom line cap.
 Point[] points =
 {
 new Point(-5, -5),
 new Point(0, 0),
 new Point(5, -5)
 };
 GraphicsPath capPath = new GraphicsPath();
 capPath.AddLines(points);
 // Create a CustomLineCap object.
 CustomLineCap firstCap = new CustomLineCap(null, capPath);
 // Create a copy of firstCap.
 CustomLineCap secondCap = (CustomLineCap)firstCap.Clone();
 // Create a Pen object.
 Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3.0f);
 // Set up the line.
 Point point1 = new Point(20, 20);
 Point point2 = new Point(100, 100);
 // Set up the caps.
 pen.CustomStartCap = firstCap;
 pen.CustomEndCap = secondCap;
 // Draw the line and caps to the screen.
 e.Graphics.DrawLine(pen, point1, point2);
 }
