public:
 void AddRectangles(cli::array <System::Drawing::Rectangle> ^ rects);

public void AddRectangles (System.Drawing.Rectangle[] rects);

member this.AddRectangles : System.Drawing.Rectangle[] -> unit

Public Sub AddRectangles (rects As Rectangle())

Examples

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

• Creates a path.

• Creates an array of rectangles and adds the rectangles to the path.

• Draws the path to the screen.

private:
   void AddRectanglesExample( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Adds a pattern of rectangles to a GraphicsPath object.
      GraphicsPath^ myPath = gcnew GraphicsPath;
      array<Rectangle>^ pathRects = {Rectangle(20,20,100,200),Rectangle(40,40,120,220),Rectangle(60,60,240,140)};
      myPath->AddRectangles( pathRects );

      // Draw the path to the screen.
      Pen^ myPen = gcnew Pen( Color::Black,2.0f );
      e->Graphics->DrawPath( myPen, myPath );
   }

private void AddRectanglesExample(PaintEventArgs e)
{
             
    // Adds a pattern of rectangles to a GraphicsPath object.
    GraphicsPath myPath = new GraphicsPath();
    Rectangle[] pathRects =
             {
                 new Rectangle(20,20,100,200),
                 new Rectangle(40,40,120,220),
                 new Rectangle(60,60,240,140)
             };
    myPath.AddRectangles(pathRects);
             
    // Draw the path to the screen.
    Pen myPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 2);
    e.Graphics.DrawPath(myPen, myPath);
}

Public Sub AddRectanglesExample(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Adds a pattern of rectangles to a GraphicsPath object.
    Dim myPath As New GraphicsPath
    Dim pathRects As Rectangle() = {New Rectangle(20, 20, 100, 200), _
    New Rectangle(40, 40, 120, 220), New Rectangle(60, 60, 240, 140)}
    myPath.AddRectangles(pathRects)

    ' Draw the path to the screen.
    Dim myPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 2)
    e.Graphics.DrawPath(myPen, myPath)
End Sub

AddRectangles(RectangleF[])

public:
 void AddRectangles(cli::array <System::Drawing::RectangleF> ^ rects);

public void AddRectangles (System.Drawing.RectangleF[] rects);

member this.AddRectangles : System.Drawing.RectangleF[] -> unit

Public Sub AddRectangles (rects As RectangleF())

Parameters

rects

RectangleF[]

An array of RectangleF structures that represents the rectangles to add.
