Iterate through the Points and the Types arrays of the GraphicsPath, saving
them out to string values.

For i as int32 = 0 to in myPath.PathPoin ts.Length - 1
'Save each myPath.PathPoin ts(i)
Next

For i as int32 = 0 to in myPath.PathType s.Length - 1
'Save each myPath.PathType s(i)
Next

Then, when you need it, reconstruct your graphics path by calling the
constructor that takes an array of points and types:

myPath = new GraphicsPath(Po intArray, TypeArray)
If you need more help than this textual descriptive of what to do, let me
know.

Ok, thanks, I guess I can handle it...
Do you know if there is a mimimal sat of points that complete my region or
there are more than minimum points needed.... seems that a simple figure
have lots of points there...

You can look at the byte array and figure out what the types are of the
points to get some more information - but each of those points is used to
draw your figure.

HELP: How to get the outline GraphicsPath?

by: Altramagnus | last post by:

I have n number of circles. Some of them might overlap. I need to draw the outline of all circles but not those overlap areas. Initially, I am try to use a Region, because a Region object has a Union function Creating a GraphicsPath of 1 circle is easy. So I convert each GraphicsPath to a Region and then Union them. But I could not get back a GraphicsPath of the Unioned Region. Does anyone know how to solve my problem?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
