Assembly:

Draws a quadratic Bezier curve.

public:
 abstract void QuadraticBezierTo(System::Windows::Point point1, System::Windows::Point point2, bool isStroked, bool isSmoothJoin);
public abstract void QuadraticBezierTo (System.Windows.Point point1, System.Windows.Point point2, bool isStroked, bool isSmoothJoin);
abstract member QuadraticBezierTo : System.Windows.Point * System.Windows.Point * bool * bool -> unit
Public MustOverride Sub QuadraticBezierTo (point1 As Point, point2 As Point, isStroked As Boolean, isSmoothJoin As Boolean)

Parameters

point1
Point

The control point used to specify the shape of the curve.

point2
Point

The destination point for the end of the curve.

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 quadratic Bezier curve using the QuadraticBezierTo method.

Remarks

Unlike a cubic Bezier curve, which uses two control points, a quadratic cubic Bezier curve uses a single control point.

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.
