[Mono-list] System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath

[Cedric Marcone]

Thank you for your answer.

But as you pointed out, I was looking for a more mathematical/integrated
option.
System.Drawing as the ability to apply boolean ops on GraphicsPath. As
my problem is to find the intersection between two paths, I thought the
API could expose the underlying mechanism... but maybe it's not the
case...

I could do it by myself, relying on System.Drawing for drawing ops and
on my own geometrical implementation for hit testing and intersection
detection... but that's a pita as it means recoding b-spline, line and
ellipses... 

cheers,
