Function Reference


_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawClosedCurve

Draw a closed cardinal spline

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawClosedCurve ( $hGraphics, $aPoints [, $hPen = 0] )

Parameters

$hGraphics Handle to a Graphics object
$aPoints Array that specifies the points of the curve:
    [0][0] - Number of points
    [1][0] - Point 1 X position
    [1][1] - Point 1 Y position
    [2][0] - Point 2 X position
    [2][1] - Point 2 Y position
    [n][0] - Point n X position
    [n][1] - Point n Y position
$hPen [optional] Handle to a pen object that is used to draw the spline. If 0, a solid black pen with a width of 1 will be used.

Return Value

Success: True.
Failure: False and sets the @error flag to non-zero, @extended may contain GPSTATUS error code ($GPIP_ERR* see GPIPlusConstants.au3).

Remarks

In a closed cardinal spline, the curve continues through the last point in the points array and connects with the first point in the array.
The array of points must contain a minimum of three elements.
