Parameters

ele

A paint element describing what sort of brush to return.

path

A path object describing a non-rectangular Primitive.

Return Value

A brush initialized by the PaintElement for the given path Primitive object.

Remarks

This method is called to supply an appropriate GDI+ Brush object corresponding to the properties of a PaintElement instance.

When the shape of the area that requires filling is rectangular (or can be closely approximated by a rectangle without loss in a fill's fidelity), use the rect version of this method for better performance.
