How to lift pen when drawing a path

[kpgraci]

I'm doing this:

gp = New GraphicsPath
gp.AddArc(New Rectangle(0, 15, 100, 100), 180, 90)
gp.AddArc(New Rectangle(50, 15, 150, 100), 180, 90)
outlineColor = Color.Gray
g.DrawPath(New Pen(outlineColor, 1), gp)
gp.Dispose()

But the two arcs are connected with a line. My goal is to draw then fill an enclosed polygon composed of arcs and lines.

Is there a way to 'lift' the pen between unconnected portions of the path, or do I have to trace out the path in order so that all sub-paths drawn are connected as they should be? (hope that makes sense)

thx

I've never used a GraphicsPath object in my life but I just spent a couple of minutes reading the documentation and I now know that what you want is achieved with multiple figures. Always, ALWAYS read the relevant documentation first. It would have taken you just a couple of minutes to find the answer too.

gee, dude...I thought it would be a simple question for someone that HAD used gdi before.

Obviously I could find the answer myself...that applies to absolutely anything I could ever want to ask...so why have a community forum?

Anyway...I'm not discouraged. I ask all kinds of questions on a variety of forums, some are basic questions, others are complex, and I also answer some questions when I can.

If I find a question I think is stupid or if I believe OP is just asking for someone to do their work for them I just pass it by...ha...that's even easier than taking the effort to excoriate someone.

BTW...your answer isn't all that helpful anyway...multiple figures? So I guess I won't be posting here any more. geez.

GraphicsPath Class (System.Drawing.Drawing2D)
Regarding multiple figures that is mentioned, especially read about StartFigure and CloseFigure methods, one or both of these will do what you ask for.
