Aurigma Graphics Mill 5.5 for .NET
GdiGraphics Class
This class represents drawing functionality provided with Graphics Mill for .NET.
Namespace:
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing
Assembly:
Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Class GdiGraphics _ Inherits UnitConverterObject
C#
public class GdiGraphics : UnitConverterObject
Remarks
- DrawArc()()()Draws an arc.
- DrawBezier()()()Draws a Bezier spline.
- DrawEllipse()()()Draws an outline for ellipse.
- DrawLine()()()Draws a line.
- DrawPie()()()Draws an outline for a pie.
- DrawLines()()()Draws a polyline.
- DrawPolygon()()()Draws an outline for polygon.
- DrawRectangle()()()Draws an outline for a rectangle.
Filling methods are drawing filled shapes without outline:
- FillEllipse()()()Draws a filled ellipse.
- FillPie()()()Draws a filled pie.
- FillPolygon()()()Draws a filled polygon.
- FillRectangle()()()Draws a filled rectangle.
This class also provides wide functionality for text output. There are a number of overloads of the DrawString()()() method: draw simple string filled with solid color, draw outlined text, draw multiline text, etc.
Also, you can draw image through this class. It can be done with overloads of the DrawImage()()() method.
Sometimes you need to prevent some parts of the bitmap or the device context to be drawn at (i.e. clip the drawing that is outside of some region). Fortunately GdiGraphics have a built-in clipping support. You can specify clipping region through the SetClip()()() method, and apply set-theory operations (IntersectClip()()() and ExcludeClip()()() methods), reset clipping region (ResetClip()()()), move it (TranslateClip()()()), etc.
If GdiGraphics features are not enough for you, you can use a power of Windows GDI. Using GetHdc()()() method you can get a HDC this graphics represents, and use it in GDI functions.
