Examples

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:

• Creates a black pen.

• Creates the start, end, and two control points for a first curve and endpoint and two control points for a second curve.

• Draws the successive Bézier curves to the screen.

private:
   void DrawBeziersPoint( PaintEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // Create pen.
      Pen^ blackPen = gcnew Pen( Color::Black,3.0f );

      // Create points for curve.
      Point start = Point(100,100);
      Point control1 = Point(200,10);
      Point control2 = Point(350,50);
      Point end1 = Point(500,100);
      Point control3 = Point(600,150);
      Point control4 = Point(650,250);
      Point end2 = Point(500,300);
      array<Point>^ bezierPoints = {start,control1,control2,end1,control3,control4,end2};

      // Draw arc to screen.
      e->Graphics->DrawBeziers( blackPen, bezierPoints );
   }

private void DrawBeziersPoint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    // Create pen.
    Pen blackPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 3);
             
    // Create points for curve.
    Point start = new Point(100, 100);
    Point control1 = new Point(200, 10);
    Point control2 = new Point(350, 50);
    Point end1 = new Point(500, 100);
    Point control3 = new Point(600, 150);
    Point control4 = new Point(650, 250);
    Point end2 = new Point(500, 300);
    Point[] bezierPoints =
             {
                 start, control1, control2, end1,
                 control3, control4, end2
             };
             
    // Draw arc to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawBeziers(blackPen, bezierPoints);
}

Private Sub DrawBeziersPoint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

    ' Create pen.
    Dim blackPen As New Pen(Color.Black, 3)

    ' Create points for curve.
    Dim start As New Point(100, 100)
    Dim control1 As New Point(200, 10)
    Dim control2 As New Point(350, 50)
    Dim end1 As New Point(500, 100)
    Dim control3 As New Point(600, 150)
    Dim control4 As New Point(650, 250)
    Dim end2 As New Point(500, 300)
    Dim bezierPoints As Point() = {start, control1, control2, _
    end1, control3, control4, end2}

    ' Draw arc to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawBeziers(blackPen, bezierPoints)
End Sub

Remarks

The number of points in the array should be a multiple of 3 plus 1 because the first spline requires 4 points and any other splines require 3 points each. The first Bézier spline is drawn from the first point to the fourth point in the point array. The second and third points are control points that determine the shape of the curve. Each subsequent curve needs exactly three more points: two more control points and an ending point. The ending point of the previous curve is used as the starting point for each additional curve.
