PdfGraphics.FillPath(DXBrush, DXGraphicsPath) Method

Fills the interior of the specified path.

Assembly : DevExpress.Pdf.v25.2.Drawing.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Pdf.Drawing

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public void FillPath(
    DXBrush brush,
    DXGraphicsPath path
)

Public Sub FillPath(
    brush As DXBrush,
    path As DXGraphicsPath
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
brush	DXBrush

A DXBrush object that specifies the brush used to fill the path.

| | path | DXGraphicsPath |

A DXGraphicsPath object in world coordinate system.

Remarks

A path is a series of connected lines, curves, and geometric shape primitives. The FillPath method fills the path interior with a brush.

If the path specifies an open figure (when starting and ending points are different), the FillPath method adds a line from the figure’s first point to its last point to close the figure.

To draw a shape on the PDF page, use one of the following methods:

PdfGraphics.AddToPageForeground, PdfGraphics.AddToPageBackgroundThese methods allow you to draw content on an existing page.PdfDocumentProcessor.RenderNewPageDraws content on a new page.

The following code snippet closes an open figure defined by a path and fills the path with the specified brush.
