WrapMode Enumeration
.NET Framework Class Library
WrapMode Enumeration

Specifies how a texture or gradient is tiled when it is smaller than the area being filled.

Namespace:  System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Assembly:  System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Enumeration WrapMode
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As WrapMode
C#
public enum WrapMode
Visual C++
public enum class WrapMode
JScript
public enum WrapMode
Member nameDescription
TileTiles the gradient or texture.
TileFlipXReverses the texture or gradient horizontally and then tiles the texture or gradient.
TileFlipYReverses the texture or gradient vertically and then tiles the texture or gradient.
TileFlipXYReverses the texture or gradient horizontally and vertically and then tiles the texture or gradient.
ClampThe texture or gradient is not tiled.

Brushes use this enumeration to determine how shapes are filled. To see examples of the effects the WrapMode enumeration values have on a tiled image, see How to: Tile a Shape with an Image.

The following code example demonstrates how to obtain a new bitmap using the FromFile method. It also demonstrates a TextureBrush and the WrapMode enumeration. This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Create a form containing a button named Button2. Paste the code into the form and associate the Button2_Click method with the button's Click event.

Visual Basic
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    Try
        Dim image1 As Bitmap = _
            CType(Image.FromFile("C:\Documents and Settings\" _
            & "All Users\Documents\My Music\music.bmp", True), Bitmap)

        Dim texture As New TextureBrush(image1)
        texture.WrapMode = Drawing2D.WrapMode.Tile
        Dim formGraphics As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics()
        formGraphics.FillEllipse(texture, _
            New RectangleF(90.0F, 110.0F, 100, 100))
        formGraphics.Dispose()

    Catch ex As System.IO.FileNotFoundException
        MessageBox.Show("There was an error opening the bitmap." _
            & "Please check the path.")
    End Try

End Sub
C#
private void Button2_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        Bitmap image1 = (Bitmap) Image.FromFile(@"C:\Documents and Settings\" +
            @"All Users\Documents\My Music\music.bmp", true);

        TextureBrush texture = new TextureBrush(image1);
        texture.WrapMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.WrapMode.Tile;
        Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
        formGraphics.FillEllipse(texture, 
            new RectangleF(90.0F, 110.0F, 100, 100));
        formGraphics.Dispose();

    }
    catch(System.IO.FileNotFoundException)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("There was an error opening the bitmap." +
            "Please check the path.");
    }

}
Visual C++
private:
   void Button2_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      try
      {
         Bitmap^ image1 = dynamic_cast<Bitmap^>(Image::FromFile( "C:\\Documents and Settings\\"
         "All Users\\Documents\\My Music\\music.bmp", true ));
         TextureBrush^ texture = gcnew TextureBrush( image1 );
         texture->WrapMode = System::Drawing::Drawing2D::WrapMode::Tile;
         Graphics^ formGraphics = this->CreateGraphics();
         formGraphics->FillEllipse( texture, RectangleF(90.0F,110.0F,100,100) );
         delete formGraphics;
      }
      catch ( System::IO::FileNotFoundException^ ) 
      {
         MessageBox::Show( "There was an error opening the bitmap."
         "Please check the path." );
      }
   }
