System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath.GetBounds Method

Returns a rectangle that bounds this System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath when the current path is transformed by the specified System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix and drawn with the specified System.Drawing.Pen.

Syntax

public System.Drawing.RectangleF GetBounds (Matrix matrix, System.Drawing.Pen pen)

Parameters

matrix
The System.Drawing.Drawing2D.Matrix that specifies a transformation to be applied to this path before the bounding rectangle is calculated. This path is not permanently transformed; the transformation is used only during the process of calculating the bounding rectangle.
pen
The System.Drawing.Pen with which to draw the System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath.

Returns

A System.Drawing.RectangleF that represents a rectangle that bounds this System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath.

Remarks

The size of the returned bounding rectangle is influenced by the type of end caps, pen width, and pen miter limit, and therefore produces a "loose fit" to the bounded path. The approximate formula is: the initial bounding rectangle is inflated by pen width, and this result is multiplied by the miter limit, plus some additional margin to allow for end caps.
