C# make line height adjust to ellipse

问题:

There is an ellipse drawn with the following code:

graphGraphics = e.Graphics;

graphGraphics.FillEllipse(new SolidBrush(Color.White), this.graphBoundries);
graphGraphics.DrawEllipse(graphPen, this.graphBoundries);

I have a line on this graph and it currently just passes right through it. I want to change the lines height to adjust to the ellipse's boundaries as follows so it wont pass through the ellipse:

Does anyone know an algorithm to do this? Or maybe even how to just get the ellipse's boundaries and not just the rectangular boundaries?

回答1:

To expand on my comment, try something like this (untested) code:

graphGraphics = e.Graphics;

graphGraphics.FillEllipse(new SolidBrush(Color.White), this.graphBoundries);
graphGraphics.DrawEllipse(graphPen, this.graphBoundries);

GraphicsPath clipPath = new GraphicsPath();
clipPath.AddEllipse(this.graphBoundaries);

graphGraphics.SetClip(clipPath, CombineMode.Replace);

// draw your line
