System.Drawing.Drawing2D Namespace

.NET Framework 2.0
The System.Drawing.Drawing2D namespace provide advanced two-dimensional and vector graphics functionality.

This namespace includes the gradient brushes, the Matrix class (used to define geometric transforms), and the GraphicsPath class.

Caution noteCaution:

Classes within the System.Drawing.Drawing2D namespace are not supported for use within a Windows or ASP.NET service. Attempting to use these classes from within one of these application types may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and run-time exceptions.

  Class Description
Public class AdjustableArrowCap Represents an adjustable arrow-shaped line cap. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class Blend Defines a blend pattern for a LinearGradientBrush object. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class ColorBlend Defines arrays of colors and positions used for interpolating color blending in a multicolor gradient. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class CustomLineCap Encapsulates a custom user-defined line cap.
Public class GraphicsContainer Represents the internal data of a graphics container. This class is used when saving the state of a Graphics object using the BeginContainer and EndContainer methods. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class GraphicsPath Represents a series of connected lines and curves. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class GraphicsPathIterator Provides the ability to iterate through subpaths in a GraphicsPath and test the types of shapes contained in each subpath. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class GraphicsState Represents the state of a Graphics object. This object is returned by a call to the BeginContainer methods. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class HatchBrush Defines a rectangular brush with a hatch style, a foreground color, and a background color. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class LinearGradientBrush Encapsulates a Brush with a linear gradient. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class Matrix Encapsulates a 3-by-3 affine matrix that represents a geometric transform. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class PathData Contains the graphical data that makes up a GraphicsPath object. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class PathGradientBrush Encapsulates a Brush object that fills the interior of a GraphicsPath object with a gradient. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class RegionData Encapsulates the data that makes up a Region object. This class cannot be inherited.
  Enumeration Description
Public enumeration CombineMode Specifies how different clipping regions can be combined.
Public enumeration CompositingMode Specifies how the source colors are combined with the background colors.
Public enumeration CompositingQuality Specifies the quality level to use during compositing.
Public enumeration CoordinateSpace Specifies the system to use when evaluating coordinates.
Public enumeration DashCap Specifies the type of graphic shape to use on both ends of each dash in a dashed line.
Public enumeration DashStyle Specifies the style of dashed lines drawn with a Pen object.
Public enumeration FillMode Specifies how the interior of a closed path is filled.
Public enumeration FlushIntention Specifies whether commands in the graphics stack are terminated (flushed) immediately or executed as soon as possible.
Public enumeration HatchStyle Specifies the different patterns available for HatchBrush objects.
Public enumeration InterpolationMode The InterpolationMode enumeration specifies the algorithm that is used when images are scaled or rotated.
Public enumeration LinearGradientMode Specifies the direction of a linear gradient.
Public enumeration LineCap Specifies the available cap styles with which a Pen object can end a line.
Public enumeration LineJoin Specifies how to join consecutive line or curve segments in a figure (subpath) contained in a GraphicsPath object.
Public enumeration MatrixOrder Specifies the order for matrix transform operations.
Public enumeration PathPointType Specifies the type of point in a GraphicsPath object.
Public enumeration PenAlignment Specifies the alignment of a Pen object in relation to the theoretical, zero-width line.
Public enumeration PenType Specifies the type of fill a Pen object uses to fill lines.
Public enumeration PixelOffsetMode Specifies how pixels are offset during rendering.
Public enumeration QualityMode Specifies the overall quality when rendering GDI+ objects.
Public enumeration SmoothingMode Specifies whether smoothing (antialiasing) is applied to lines and curves and the edges of filled areas.
Public enumeration WarpMode Specifies the type of warp transformation applied in a Warp method.
Public enumeration WrapMode Specifies how a texture or gradient is tiled when it is smaller than the area being filled.
