Hi!

I just made a test on graphicsPath

I added 3 circles to a GraphicsPath and filled with one color into a panel
paint event..

What I noticed is that the overlapped part of 2 circles is not filled as it
is not inside the path...
How can I add multiple closed figures as circles to a GP and all regions
added up to be considered as part of the path and filled out?

Thanks
Crirus

When you create the GraphicsPath you can specify the fill-mode. The default
is Alternate and will produce a shape with holes where two shapes overlap.
Create the path with a Winding fill mode to get a path that is a union of
all the shapes in it.

Found that..may I hope this is only a fill behaviour and a region from this
path is union of the shapes?
