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
firstCapby 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.
Public Sub CloneExample(e As PaintEventArgs)
Dim points As Point() = New Point(- 5, - 5) New Point(0, 0) _
New Point(5, - 5)
Dim capPath As New GraphicsPath()
' Create a Path and add two lines to it,
' forming a custom line cap.
capPath.AddLines(points)
' Create a CustomLineCap object.
Dim firstCap As New CustomLineCap(Nothing, capPath)
' Create a copy of firstCap.
Dim secondCap As CustomLineCap = CType(firstCap.Clone(), _
CustomLineCap)
' Create a Pen object.
Dim pen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3F)
'Set up the line.
Dim point1 As New Point(20, 20)
Dim point2 As 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)
End Sub
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);
