draw circle in Visual C#

Question

HI

I have this code that draw a Rectangle ( Im trying to remake the MS Paint )

 case "Rectangle":
               if (tempDraw != null)
                {
                    tempDraw = (Bitmap)snapshot.Clone();
                    Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(tempDraw);
                    Pen myPen = new Pen(foreColor, lineWidth);
                    g.DrawRectangle(myPen, x1, y1, x2-x1, y2-y1);
                    myPen.Dispose();
                    e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(tempDraw, 0, 0);
                    g.Dispose();
                }

but what if I want to draw a circle what will change?

g.DrawRectangle(myPen, x1, y1, x2-x1, y2-y1);

thanx in advance.

Answer 1

You'll need to use DrawEllipse if you want to draw a circle using GDI+.

An example is here: http://www.websupergoo.com/helpig6net/source/3-examples/9-drawgdi.htm

Answer 2

Try the DrawEllipse method instead.

Answer 3

You should use DrawEllipse:

//
// Summary:
//     Draws an ellipse defined by a bounding rectangle specified by coordinates
//     for the upper-left corner of the rectangle, a height, and a width.
//
// Parameters:
//   pen:
//     System.Drawing.Pen that determines the color, width,
//      and style of the ellipse.
//
//   x:
//     The x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle that
//     defines the ellipse.
//
//   y:
//     The y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the bounding rectangle that
//     defines the ellipse.
//
//   width:
//     Width of the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse.
//
//   height:
//     Height of the bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse.
//
// Exceptions:
//   System.ArgumentNullException:
//     pen is null.
public void DrawEllipse(Pen pen, int x, int y, int width, int height);
