FillAndStrokePath Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Fills and then strokes the current path, defined within a currently selected page of the loaded PDF document, using the nonzero winding number rule to determine the region to fill. More precisely, this method sets the path-painting operator "B". Any sub-paths, that are open, are implicitly closed before being filled (see PDF Reference, Section "Path-Painting Operators").

The use of this method has the same effect as constructing two identical path objects, painting the first using the FillPath method and the second using the StrokePath method. Therefore all details related to the FillPath and the StrokePath method remain in effect. Be aware of your currently defined graphics state parameters, that both filling and stroking operations put into effect.

Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function FillAndStrokePath() As GdPictureStatus
public GdPictureStatus FillAndStrokePath()
public function FillAndStrokePath(): GdPictureStatus; 
public function FillAndStrokePath() : GdPictureStatus;
public: GdPictureStatus FillAndStrokePath(); 
public:
GdPictureStatus FillAndStrokePath(); 

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.

You also need to be aware that the path-painting operators end a path object, so once a path has been painted (filled or stroked), it is no longer defined. In other words, the sequence of the FillPathFillPath() and StrokePath methods has not that effect as using the FillAndStrokePath method.

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.
