Graphics.DrawString Method (String, Font, SolidBrush, Point)

Draws the specified text string at the specified location with the specified Font and SolidBrush settings.

Namespace: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing
Assembly: Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)

Syntax

public void DrawString(
	string string,
	Font font,
	SolidBrush brush,
	Point point
)

Parameters

string: Type: System.String
A string to draw.

font: Type: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.Font
A Font that defines the text format of the string.

brush: Type: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.SolidBrush
A SolidBrush that determines the color of the drawn text.

point: Type: System.Drawing.Point
A Point structure that specifies the upper-left corner of the drawn text. Actual position of the text relatively this point is defined with HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment properties of the font argument.

Remarks

The extent of the text drawn by this method can be measured using the MeasureString(String, Font) method.

Note

When you try to draw text on a grayscale bitmap, you will notice that the text is not antialiased. The reason of this problem is that neither GDI nor GDI+ support grayscale bitmaps, therefore Graphics Mill has to imitate it as indexed bitmap with grayscale palette. However, antialiasing is impossible on indexed bitmaps.
