PathToRegion for VectorDrawing?

[sq4]

In GDI we have the API PathToRegion_() to create a region from the drawing path: Great!
In the VectorDrawing library of PB there's no way to save a path.

Does anybody know if this is faesible in some way or another?
Some hidden PB internal(s) to access perhaps?

I am now using GDI regions in my new project (http://www.raxntrax.com/pixys2).
It works as expected, but since they are pixel based, they give some jitter when resizing/rotating...

Hi sq4

It was my understanding that the Windows version of the Vector lib is based on GdiPlus......

Have you seen these posts? Might help:

Isn't ClipPath what you looking for?

Yes, I know, and that's why I asked about a PathToRegion alternative.
In the VectorDrawing lib ClipPath() clips whatever is in the drawing path.
In GDI otoh you could use SelectClipRgn_() with a previously saved GDI region.

PathSegments() / AddPathSegments() is kind of a GDI PathToRegion() alternative, but still you need to draw those in order for ClipPath() to work.
I think I have to conclude that GDI+ just doesn't support region objects...
