drawing a polygon with gdi+ and a vector of points

I have a vector of PointF's and I'm trying to draw a polygon with GDI+:
void Polygons::create_polygons(CDC& dc, std::array<Gdiplus::Color, 6>& cols)
{
Gdiplus::Graphics gr{ dc };
find_poly_vertices();
Gdiplus::Pen pen{ Gdiplus::Color(255,0,0,0) };
auto old_brush = dc.GetCurrentBrush();
for (int i = 0; i != points.size(); ++i)
{
Gdiplus::SolidBrush br{ cols[i] };
gr.DrawPolygon(&pen, points[i], points[i].size());
gr.FillPolygon(&br, points[i], points[i].size());
}
dc.SelectObject(old_brush);
}
the find_poly_vertices() saves the points of the polygon in an array of vectors in Polygons.
when I compile in visual studio I get error C2664:
cannot convert argument 2 from"std::vector<Gdiplus::PointF,std::allocator<_Ty>>" to "const Gdiplus::PointF *"
c++ gdi+

If you read the error, what do you think it means? What do you think might be a way to solve it?

@paddy thanks! std::vector::data() solved it

Baffles me that you would choose to show the function that doesn't contain the error...

@paddy what do you mean? the linegr.DrawPolygon(&pen, points[i], points[i].size());andgr.FillPolygon(&br, points[i], points[i].size());in this function are underlined
