Parameters

bitmapData IReadWriteBitmapData: The IReadWriteBitmapData instance to draw on.
color Color32: The color of the curve to draw.
p1 PointF: The starting point of the conic curve.
p2 PointF: The control point of the conic curve.
p3 PointF: The ending point of the conic curve.
weight Single: The weight of the conic curve, which determines the shape of the curve. Must be a positive value.
drawingOptions DrawingOptions (Optional): A DrawingOptions instance that specifies the drawing options to use. If , then the default options are used. This parameter is optional.
Default value: .

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IReadWriteBitmapData. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

If the weight is 1, the conic curve is equivalent to a parabolic (quadratic) Bézier curve. If the weight is less than 1, the curve is an elliptic arc, and if it's greater than 1, the curve is a hyperbolic arc.

This method tries to use a shortcut to draw the curve directly, which is faster than creating a Path and adding the curve to it. A shortcut is possible when drawingOptions is and the specified color is opaque, or when FastThinLines is enabled in drawingOptions, and it specifies that no anti-aliasing and no alpha blending is required, the transformation is the identity matrix, and neither Quantizer nor Ditherer is specified.

When no shortcut can be used and the same curve is drawn repeatedly, creating a Path with PreferCaching enabled can provide a better performance.

Note

This method adjusts the degree of parallelization automatically, blocks the caller, and does not support cancellation or reporting progress. You can use the overloads that have a ParallelConfig parameter to configure these, while still executing the method synchronously. Alternatively, use the BeginDrawConicCurve or DrawConicCurveAsync (in .NET Framework 4.0 and above) methods to perform the operation asynchronously.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	bitmapData is .
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	weight must be a finite non-negative value.
OverflowException	The coordinates (after a possible transformation specified in drawingOptions) are outside the bounds of an int value.
