Draws a line connecting the two points specified by coordinate pairs.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

Public Overloads Sub DrawLine( _
   ByVal pen As System.Drawing.Pen, _
   ByVal point1 As System.Drawing.Point, _
   ByVal point2 As System.Drawing.Point _
)

public void DrawLine( 
   System.Drawing.Pen pen,
   System.Drawing.Point point1,
   System.Drawing.Point point2
)

Parameters

pen: System.Drawing.Pen object that determines the color, width of the line.
point1: System.Drawing.Point structure that represents the first point to connect.
point2: System.Drawing.Point structure that represents the second point to connect.

Remarks

The pen parameter is a regular System.Drawing.Pen object, which defines the width, color, and style of the line. The system pens (e.g. Pens.Black, Pens.Red, etc) have a width of one point. If you want to draw thinner or thicker lines, you have to create new System.Drawing.Pen objects.

SWF file format has no native support for dashed or dotted line styles. A dashed line can be simulated by breaking up the path into a series of short lines. All lines in SWF file format have rounded joins and end-caps.

Example

The code below draws several lines using different pens:

C1FlashCanvas canvas = new C1FlashCanvas();
// draw a line with system pen
canvas.DrawLine(Pens.Green,  100, 100, 300, 100); 
// create a thick blue pen
Pen thickPen = new Pen(Color.Blue, 3); 
canvas.DrawLine(thickPen, 100, 120, 300, 120); 
// change the color and width
thickPen.Color = Color.Red; 
thickPen.Width = 6; 
canvas.DrawLine(thickPen, 100, 140, 300, 140);
canvas.RenderToFile(@"c:\temp\line.swf");
