Parameters

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.

• Sets up string and font arguments.

• Adds the string to the path.

• Draws the string to the screen.

There are two important things to be pointed out. First, notice that the fontStyle argument is cast as an integer. The AddString method requires this so that two or more FontStyle members can be combined to create the desired font style (in this case, Italic and Underline). Secondly, notice that the FillPath method is used rather than the DrawPath method. If FillPath is used, solid text is rendered, whereas if DrawPath is used, the text will be an outline style.

private:
   void AddStringExample( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create a GraphicsPath object.
      GraphicsPath^ myPath = gcnew GraphicsPath;

      // Set up all the string parameters.
      String^ stringText = "Sample Text";
      FontFamily^ family = gcnew FontFamily( "Arial" );
      int fontStyle = (int)FontStyle::Italic;
      int emSize = 26;
      Point origin = Point(20,20);
      StringFormat^ format = StringFormat::GenericDefault;

      // Add the string to the path.
      myPath->AddString( stringText, family, fontStyle, (float)emSize, origin, format );

      //Draw the path to the screen.
      e->Graphics->FillPath( Brushes::Black, myPath );
   }

private void AddStringExample(PaintEventArgs e)
{
             
    // Create a GraphicsPath object.
    GraphicsPath myPath = new GraphicsPath();
             
    // Set up all the string parameters.
    string stringText = "Sample Text";
    FontFamily family = new FontFamily("Arial");
    int fontStyle = (int)FontStyle.Italic;
    int emSize = 26;
    Point origin = new Point(20, 20);
    StringFormat format = StringFormat.GenericDefault;
             
    // Add the string to the path.
    myPath.AddString(stringText,
        family,
        fontStyle,
        emSize,
        origin,
        format);
             
    //Draw the path to the screen.
    e.Graphics.FillPath(Brushes.Black, myPath);
}

Public Sub AddStringExample(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create a GraphicsPath object.
    Dim myPath As New GraphicsPath

    ' Set up all the string parameters.
    Dim stringText As String = "Sample Text"
    Dim family As New FontFamily("Arial")
    Dim myfontStyle As Integer = CInt(FontStyle.Italic)
    Dim emSize As Integer = 26
    Dim origin As New Point(20, 20)
    Dim format As StringFormat = StringFormat.GenericDefault

    ' Add the string to the path.
    myPath.AddString(stringText, family, myfontStyle, emSize, _
    origin, format)

    'Draw the path to the screen.
    e.Graphics.FillPath(Brushes.Black, myPath)
End Sub
