GraphicsPath.CloseFigure Method

Definition

Closes the current figure and starts a new figure. If the current figure contains a sequence of connected lines and curves, the method closes the loop by connecting a line from the endpoint to the starting point.

C#
public void CloseFigure ();

Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, an OnPaint event object. The code creates a triangle by creating a new path, starting a figure, adding two intersecting lines to the figure, and then closing the figure to form a triangle. The path is then drawn to the screen.

C#
private void CloseFigureExample(PaintEventArgs e)
{
             
    // Create a path consisting of two, open-ended lines and close
             
    // the lines using CloseFigure.
    GraphicsPath myPath = new GraphicsPath();
    myPath.StartFigure();
    myPath.AddLine(new Point(10, 10), new Point(200, 10));
    myPath.AddLine(new Point(200, 10), new Point(200, 200));
    myPath.CloseFigure();
             
    // Draw the path to the screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawPath(Pens.Black, myPath);
}
