# GdiGraphics.DrawBeziers Method (Pen, Point[])
 
Draws a sequence of connected Bezier splines.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Drawing.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public Sub DrawBeziers ( _pen As Pen, _points As Point() _
)
```
 
```csharp
public void DrawBeziers(Pen pen,Point[] points
)
```
 
### Parameters
 
 - pen
     - Type: [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.Pen](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Drawing_Pen.htm.md)
 [Pen](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Drawing_Pen.htm.md) object which is used to draw an spline.

 - points
     - Type:  [System.Drawing.Point](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/bk9hwzbw) []
Array of coordinates of the splines start, end, and control points.
 
## Remarks
  
A single Bezier spline is defined with four points: first and last point specify beginning and end of the curve, second and third points specify so-called control points. The control points act as magnets, pulling the curve in certain directions to influence the way the Bezier spline bends.
 
The end point of each spline is a start point for the next one. So the *points* array should have at least 4 points and + 3 points for each extra spline.
 
All the coordinates are measured in units specified with [Unit](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_UnitConverterObject_Unit.htm.md) property.
 
## Examples
  
```
Dim bitmap As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap( _
 Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.White, 185, 145, _
 Aurigma.GraphicsMill.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb)

Dim graphics As Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.GdiGraphics = bitmap.GetGdiGraphics()

'Draw line
Dim pen As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.Pen(Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.Red, 5)
graphics.DrawLine(pen, 10, 10, 100, 60)

'Draw polyline
pen.Color = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.FromArgb(150, 0, 255, 0)
pen.DashStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dash
pen.Width = 2
Dim points1 As System.Drawing.Point() = { _
 New System.Drawing.Point(20, 30), New System.Drawing.Point(50, 2), _
 New System.Drawing.Point(180, 30), New System.Drawing.Point(80, 140)}
graphics.DrawLines(pen, points1)

'Draw beizer
pen.Color = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.Blue
pen.DashStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Solid
Dim points2 As System.Drawing.Point() = { _
 New System.Drawing.Point(5, 5), New System.Drawing.Point(20, 150), _
 New System.Drawing.Point(165, 80), New System.Drawing.Point(175, 10)}
graphics.DrawBeziers(pen, points2)
```
 
```csharp
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap bitmap = new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Bitmap(
    Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.White, 185, 145, 
    Aurigma.GraphicsMill.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);

Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.GdiGraphics graphics = bitmap.GetGdiGraphics();

//Draw line
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.Pen pen = new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.Pen(
    Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.Red, 5);
graphics.DrawLine(pen, 10, 10, 100, 60);

//Draw polyline
pen.Color = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.FromArgb(150, 0, 255, 0);
pen.DashStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dash;
pen.Width = 2;
System.Drawing.Point[] points1 = { 
    new System.Drawing.Point(20, 30), new System.Drawing.Point(50, 2), 
    new System.Drawing.Point(180, 30), new System.Drawing.Point(80, 140)};
graphics.DrawLines(pen, points1);

//Draw beizer
pen.Color = Aurigma.GraphicsMill.RgbColor.Blue;
pen.DashStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Solid;
System.Drawing.Point[] points2 = { 
    new System.Drawing.Point(5, 5), new System.Drawing.Point(20, 150), 
    new System.Drawing.Point(165, 80), new System.Drawing.Point(175, 10)};
graphics.DrawBeziers(pen, points2);
```
