  const PointF *points,
  INT          count
);

Parameters

pen

Pointer to a pen that is used to draw the lines.

VOID Example_DrawLines2(HDC hdc)
{
   Graphics graphics(hdc);

   // Create a Pen object.
   Pen blackPen(Color(255, 0, 0, 0), 3);

   // Create an array of PointF objects that define the lines to draw.
   PointF point1(10.0f, 10.0f);
   PointF point2(10.0f, 100.0f);
   PointF point3(200.0f, 50.0f);
   PointF point4(250.0f, 300.0f);

   PointF points[4] = {point1, point2, point3, point4};
   PointF* pPoints = points;

   // Draw the lines.
   graphics.DrawLines(&blackPen, pPoints, 4);
}
