StreamGeometryContext.PolyLineTo(IList<Point>, Boolean, Boolean) Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Windows.Media
Assembly:
PresentationCore.dll

Draws one or more connected straight lines.

public:
 abstract void PolyLineTo(System::Collections::Generic::IList<System::Windows::Point> ^ points, bool isStroked, bool isSmoothJoin);
public abstract void PolyLineTo (System.Collections.Generic.IList<System.Windows.Point> points, bool isStroked, bool isSmoothJoin);
abstract member PolyLineTo : System.Collections.Generic.IList<System.Windows.Point> * bool * bool -> unit
Public MustOverride Sub PolyLineTo (points As IList(Of Point), isStroked As Boolean, isSmoothJoin As Boolean)

Parameters

points
IList<Point>

The collection of points that specify destination points for one or more connected straight lines.

isStroked
Boolean

true to make the segment stroked when a Pen is used to render the segment; otherwise, false.

isSmoothJoin
Boolean

true to treat the join between this segment and the previous segment as a corner when stroked with a Pen; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

An attempt was made to add a segment without starting a figure by calling the BeginFigure(Point, Boolean, Boolean) method.

Examples

The following example shows how to draw a triangle using the PolyLineTo method.

Remarks

This method uses the end point of the previous segment as its starting point. If this is the first segment in a figure, it uses the point specified by the BeginFigure method as its start point.

A StreamGeometry cannot be serialized if it contains a Transform or any non-stroked or unfilled segments.
