newbie graphics

[Michael]

I found the following method in a graphics turtorial..

private void DrawShapesForm_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)

{

// references to object we will use

Graphics graphicsObject = e.Graphics;

// ellipse rectangle and gradient brush

Rectangle drawArea1 = new Rectangle( 5, 35, 30, 100 );

LinearGradientBrush linearBrush =

new LinearGradientBrush ( drawArea1, Color.Blue,

Color.Yellow, LinearGradientMode.ForwardDiagonal );
// draw ellipse filled with a blue-yellow gradient

graphicsObject.FillEllipse( linearBrush, 5, 30, 65, 100 );

}

My question is. What code should I put into the click event of
a command button to get it to execute from there?
TIA Mick.

None. Just assign that method as the handler for the Paint method of your
Control or Form. The method will be called as necessary any time there's
a need to draw the graphics that code represents.
