  [in]  const PointF *points,
  [in]  INT count
);

Parameters

points [in]
Type: const PointF*

Pointer to an array of points that specify the starting and ending points of the lines. The first point in the array is the starting point of the first line, and the last point in the array is the ending point of the last line. Each of the other points serves as ending point for one line and starting point for the next line.

Type: Status****

If the method succeeds, it returns Ok, which is an element of the Status enumeration.

If the method fails, it returns one of the other elements of the Status enumeration.

Examples

The following example creates a GraphicsPath object path, adds a sequence of four connected lines to path, and then draws path.

VOID Example_AddLines(HDC hdc)
{
   Graphics graphics(hdc); 

   PointF pts[] = {PointF(20.0f, 20.0f),
                   PointF(30.0f, 30.0f),
                   PointF(40.0f, 25.0f),
                   PointF(50.0f, 30.0f),
                   PointF(60.0f, 20.0f)};

   GraphicsPath path;
   path.AddLines(pts, 5);

   // Draw the path.
   Pen pen(Color(255, 255, 0, 0));
   graphics.DrawPath(&pen, &path);
}
