Crop a circle image from a square picture

hi,
I making a windows application in C# and my problem is that,
I have a square picture. I need to draw a circle on it, and everything
outside that circle to be set to a certain color, so the image looks framed

On other words, I want to crop a circle form a rectangular picture

Any hints/any help ..........

thanks in advance

You can do this by using a texture brush...Try this..

theImage = new Bitmap("YouImage.jpg");

      

Graphics g = GetGraphichs(); // such as e.Graphics inside a OnPaint method;

Brush tBrush = new TextureBrush(theImage, new Rectangle(0, 0,theImage.Width, theImage.Height));

g.FillEllipse(tBrush, GetTheRectangle());
tBrush.Dispose();

Doing stuff with .net

Make this PictureBox control round:

public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath path = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath();
path.AddEllipse(0, 0, pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height);
pictureBox1.Region = new Region(path);
}
}

Please post these questions to Windows Forms General in the future.
