Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Sub DrawToBitmap ( _
    bitmap As Bitmap, _
    targetBounds As Rectangle _
)

public override void DrawToBitmap(
    Bitmap bitmap,
    Rectangle targetBounds
)

public:
virtual void DrawToBitmap(
    Bitmap^ bitmap, 
    Rectangle targetBounds
) override

abstract DrawToBitmap : 
        bitmap:Bitmap * 
        targetBounds:Rectangle -> unit 
override DrawToBitmap : 
        bitmap:Bitmap * 
        targetBounds:Rectangle -> unit 

public override function DrawToBitmap(
    bitmap : Bitmap, 
    targetBounds : Rectangle
)

Parameters

• bitmap
  Type: System.Drawing.Bitmap
  The Bitmap to be drawn to.

• targetBounds
  Type: System.Drawing.Rectangle
  The Rectangle within which the LineShape is drawn.

Remarks

If the X or Y coordinates or the Width or Height parameters of targetBounds are less than 0, an ArgumentException will be thrown.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the DrawToBitmap method to draw a LineShape on a PictureBox control.

Dim pic As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(Me.PictureBox1.Image,
 PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height)
Dim rect As New System.Drawing.Rectangle(LineShape1.X1,
 LineShape1.Y1, LineShape1.X2 - LineShape1.X1,
 LineShape1.Y2 - LineShape1.Y1)
LineShape1.DrawToBitmap(pic, rect)
PictureBox2.Image = pic

System.Drawing.Bitmap pic = new System.Drawing.Bitmap
    (this.pictureBox1.Image, pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height);
System.Drawing.Rectangle rect = new System.Drawing.Rectangle
    (lineShape1.X1, lineShape1.Y1, lineShape1.X2 - lineShape1.X1, 
    lineShape1.Y2 - lineShape1.Y1);
lineShape1.DrawToBitmap(pic, rect);
pictureBox2.Image = pic;
