public:
GdPictureStatus DrawGradientCurve( 
   int ImageID,
   array<Point>^ arPoints,
   int PenWidth,
   Color StartColor,
   Color EndColor,
   bool AntiAlias
)

Parameters

ImageID: GdPicture image identifier.
arPoints: Array of System.Drawing.Point that specifies the coordinates that the cardinal spline passes through.
PenWidth: The width, in pixel, of the pen used to draw the curve.
StartColor: Starting of the curve, as Color object. A suitable color value can be obtained by using the ARGB() method.
EndColor: Ending color of the gradient curve, as Color object. A suitable color value can be obtained by using the ARGB() method.
AntiAlias: Set to True to apply the Antialiasing algorithm else False.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration.

Drawing a linear gradient curve on a GdPicture image.

C#

using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    Point[] points = new Point[] {
        new Point(200,100),
        new Point(350,150),
        new Point(300,250),
        new Point(150,200),
    };
    int penWidth = 10;
    Color startColor = Color.Blue, endColor = Color.Yellow;
    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateNewGdPictureImage(400, 400, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb, Color.White);
 
    // Draw gradient curve. The AntiAlias parameter is set to true to apply antialiasing algorithm, i.e. to improve the appearance of the curve boundary.
    gdpictureImaging.DrawGradientCurve(imageID, points, penWidth, startColor, endColor, true);
 
    gdpictureImaging.SaveAsPNG(imageID, "output.png");
 
    // Release used resources.
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
}
