PageCanvas.DrawLines(RichEditPenBase, Point[], DocumentLayoutUnit) Method

Draws a custom set of lines.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Layout

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

#Declaration

public void DrawLines(
    RichEditPenBase pen,
    Point[] points,
    DocumentLayoutUnit unit
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
pen RichEditPenBase

The RichEditPenBase descendant that sets the lines’ color and thickness.

points Point[]

The array of points locating the lines.

unit DocumentLayoutUnit

Specifies measurement units for line parameters.

#Remarks

This method draws lines so that the end of the first line is the beginning of the next one.

To set the line style, use the RichEditPenBase.DashStyle method.

When you print or export documents, document objects may appear differently from the way they look on screen. To make them look the same in both outputs, set the DocumentLayoutUnit parameter to the same DocumentLayoutUnit value as the one specified for the document layout.

Note

Using this parameter is effective only if the drawn shape has coordinates and parameters represented by absolute values. Coordinates represented by relative values are measured in the units of the whole document layout.
