    // Create graphics path object and add ellipse.
    GraphicsPath graphPath = new GraphicsPath();
    graphPath.AddEllipse(0, 0, 200, 100);
             
    // Create pen.
    Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3);
             
    // Draw graphics path to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawPath(blackPen, graphPath);
}
