Draws a straight line to the specified Point.

public:
 abstract void LineTo(System::Windows::Point point, bool isStroked, bool isSmoothJoin);

public abstract void LineTo (System.Windows.Point point, bool isStroked, bool isSmoothJoin);

abstract member LineTo : System.Windows.Point * bool * bool -> unit

Public MustOverride Sub LineTo (point As Point, isStroked As Boolean, isSmoothJoin As Boolean)

Parameters

point: Point

The destination point for the end of the line.

isStroked: Boolean

true to make the segment stroked when a Pen is used to render the segment; otherwise, false.

isSmoothJoin: Boolean

true to treat the join between this segment and the previous segment as a corner when stroked with a Pen; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

An attempt was made to add a segment without starting a figure by calling the BeginFigure(Point, Boolean, Boolean) method.

Examples

The following example shows how to draw a triangle using the LineTo method.

{
    // Use StreamGeometry with StreamGeometryContext to define a triangle shape.

            // Create a path to draw a geometry with.
            Path myPath = new Path();
            myPath.Stroke = Brushes.Black;
            myPath.StrokeThickness = 1;

            // Create a StreamGeometry to use to specify myPath.
            StreamGeometry geometry = new StreamGeometry();
            geometry.FillRule = FillRule.EvenOdd;

            // Open a StreamGeometryContext that can be used to describe this StreamGeometry 
            // object's contents.
            using (StreamGeometryContext ctx = geometry.Open())
            {
                
                // Begin the triangle at the point specified. Notice that the shape is set to 
                // be closed so only two lines need to be specified below to make the triangle.
                ctx.BeginFigure(new Point(10, 100), true /* is filled */, true /* is closed */);

                // Draw a line to the next specified point.
                ctx.LineTo(new Point(100, 100), true /* is stroked */, false /* is smooth join */);

                // Draw another line to the next specified point.
                ctx.LineTo(new Point(100, 50), true /* is stroked */, false /* is smooth join */);
            }

            // Freeze the geometry (make it unmodifiable)
            // for additional performance benefits.
            geometry.Freeze();

            // Specify the shape (triangle) of the Path using the StreamGeometry.
            myPath.Data = geometry;

            // Add path shape to the UI.

            mainPanel.Children.Add(myPath);
            this.Content = mainPanel;
        }
    }

Remarks

This method uses the end point of the previous segment as its starting point. If this is the first segment in a figure, it uses the point specified by the BeginFigure method as its start point.

A StreamGeometry cannot be serialized if it contains a Transform or any non-stroked or unfilled segments.
