Example





In This Topic
CloseAndFillAndStrokePathOdd Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Closes, fills and then strokes the current path, using the even-odd rule (an alternative to the nonzero winding number rule) to determine the region to fill, defined within a currently selected page of the loaded PDF document. More precisely, this method sets the path-painting operator "b*". The use of this method has the same effect as the use of the sequence of methods ClosePath() and FillAndStrokePathOdd(), and therefore all details related to the GdPicturePDF.ClosePath method and GdPicturePDF.FillAndStrokePathOdd method remain in effect.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function CloseAndFillAndStrokePathOdd() As GdPictureStatus
 

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.

We strongly recommend always checking this status first.

Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

For further assistance, please see the Path Construction and Painting section and the Graphics State section of the GdPicturePDF class in the Reference Guide, as well as the Path-Painting Operators section in the PDF Reference.

Example
How to close the current path with filling and stroking it at the same time using both rules to determine the region to fill. 
Dim caption As String = "Example: CloseAndFillAndStrokePathOdd"
