This chapter discusses the contents of these namespaces. After finishing this chapter, you will understand which functionality is defined where and when to which namespace. Chapter 3: The Graphics Class The Graphics class plays a major role in GDI+. Whenever you need to draw a graphics object, you must use the Graphics class. This chapter discusses Graphics class methods and properties, and how to use them. After completing this chapter, you'll have a pretty good idea how to draw and fill various graphics objects.
We will discuss these classes and their members in more detail in other chapters according to how they are categorized. Drawing2D namespace provides blending, color blending, graphics paths, custom line caps, hatch and linear gradient brushes, and matrices. We will discuss these classes and their members in more detail in Chapter 9. 2 Imaging Imaging involves viewing and manipulating images. In managed GDI+, imaging functionality is divided into two categories: basic and advanced. The basic functionality is defined in the Image class, which also serves as the base class of theBitmap and Metafile classes.
