Use SkiaSharp to draw lines and graphics paths

The previous section demonstrated that the SkiaSharp SKCanvas class includes several methods to draw rectangles, ellipses, and rounded rectangles. This section and later sections cover the various classes connected with creating and rendering graphics paths.

The graphics path is the most generalized approach to drawing lines and curves in SkiaSharp. This section covers using an SKPath object to draw straight lines, and to use a collection of tiny straight lines (called a polyline) to draw curves that you can define mathematically. A later section will discusses the various sorts of curves supported by SKPath.

All the sample programs in this section appear under the heading Lines and Paths in the home page of the SkiaSharpFormsDemos program, and in the Paths folder of the solution.
