Parameters

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 graphics path and adds a rectangle to it.

• Creates a PathGradientBrush from the path points (in this example, the points form a rectangle, but it could be most any shape).

• Sets the center color to red and the surrounding color to blue.

• Draws the PathGradientBrush to the screen prior to applying the scale transform.

• Applies the scale transform to the brush by using its ScaleTransform method.

• Calls the TranslateTransform method to move the brush rectangle such that it does not overlay the one drawn to the screen earlier.

• Draws the translated brush rectangle to the screen.

Notice that the bottom rectangle is twice as long in the x-axis as is the one drawn prior to the translation.
