GraphicsPath.Reset Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Drawing.Drawing2D

Assembly:

System.Drawing.Common.dll

Source:

GraphicsPath.cs

Empties the PathPoints and PathTypes arrays and sets the FillMode to Alternate.

C#

public void Reset();

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.

• Adds several primitives to it.

• Draws the path's points array to the screen.

• Resets the path to an empty state.

• Re-acquires the points array (if it exists).

• Draws the array to the screen.

Notice that it finds no array following the reset call.

C#

public void GraphicsPathResetExample(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    Font myFont = new Font("Arial", 8);
             
    // Create a path and add a line, an ellipse, and an arc.
    GraphicsPath myPath = new GraphicsPath();
    myPath.AddLine(new Point(0, 0), new Point(100, 100));
    myPath.AddEllipse(100, 100, 200, 250);
    myPath.AddArc(300, 250, 100, 100, 0, 90);
             
    // Draw the pre-reset points array to the screen.
    DrawPoints1(e, myPath.PathPoints, 20);
             
    // Reset the path.
    myPath.Reset();
             
    // See if any points remain.
    if(myPath.PointCount > 0)
    {
             
        // Draw the post-reset points array to the screen.
        DrawPoints1(e, myPath.PathPoints, 150);
    }
    else
             
        // If there are no points, say so.
        e.Graphics.DrawString("No Points",
            myFont,
            Brushes.Black,
            150,
            20);
} 
//End GraphicsPathResetExample
             
// A helper function GraphicsPathResetExample uses to draw the points.
             
// to the screen.
public void DrawPoints1(PaintEventArgs e, PointF[] pathPoints, int xOffset)
{
    int y = 20;
    Font myFont = new Font("Arial", 8);
    for(int i=0;i < pathPoints.Length; i++)
    {
        e.Graphics.DrawString(pathPoints[i].X.ToString() + ", " +
            pathPoints[i].Y.ToString(),
            myFont,
            Brushes.Black,
            xOffset,
            y);
        y += 20;
    }
} 
// End DrawPoints
