Example 





The source Graphics object.
Point object of the origin of the source rectangle.
The destination Graphics object.
Rectangle to be used as the display destination rectangle.
Effect to apply when painting. For valid values, refer to SpecialEffectsType.
Graining size. This is the smallest size (pixel width or height) to be updated when painting an effect. Using a small grain makes the painting smoother, but takes longer to paint. Using a large grain makes the painting more coarse, but paints faster. If the effectType parameter is from the Wave class this represents the duration or height of the wave. Valid values are 1 to 256.
Delay between graining steps, in milliseconds.
Speed of the wave. Valid values are 1 to 256. This parameter is valid only if the effectType parameter is from the Wave class.
Number of cycles or repetitions used to draw the wave. This parameter is valid only if the effectType parameter is from the Wave class.
Pass number when using a pattern brush. Use 1 for painting in one pass.
Maximum passes for a pattern brush. Use 1 for painting in one pass.
True to implement transparency by not painting pixels of the color specified in the transparentColor parameter; False if transparency is not implemented.
value that specifies the transparent color.
Wand width, in pixels.
Value that specifies the wand color.
Windows ROP code for display. This parameter takes the same codes as the Windows BitBlt method. For ordinary painting, use SRCCOPY.
Callback method that will be called when the Effect is started to determine the status for the effect.
Performs a bit-block transfer of the color data corresponding to a rectangle of pixels from the specified source device context into a destination device context, while applying a special effect.

Parameters

srcGraphics
The source Graphics object.
srcPoint
Point object of the origin of the source rectangle.
destGraphics
The destination Graphics object.
destRect
Rectangle to be used as the display destination rectangle.
effectType
Effect to apply when painting. For valid values, refer to SpecialEffectsType.
grain
Graining size. This is the smallest size (pixel width or height) to be updated when painting an effect. Using a small grain makes the painting smoother, but takes longer to paint. Using a large grain makes the painting more coarse, but paints faster. If the effectType parameter is from the Wave class this represents the duration or height of the wave. Valid values are 1 to 256.
delay
Delay between graining steps, in milliseconds.
speed
Speed of the wave. Valid values are 1 to 256. This parameter is valid only if the effectType parameter is from the Wave class.
cycles
Number of cycles or repetitions used to draw the wave. This parameter is valid only if the effectType parameter is from the Wave class.
pass
Pass number when using a pattern brush. Use 1 for painting in one pass.
maxPass
Maximum passes for a pattern brush. Use 1 for painting in one pass.
transparency
True to implement transparency by not painting pixels of the color specified in the transparentColor parameter; False if transparency is not implemented.
transparentColor
value that specifies the transparent color.
wandWidth
Wand width, in pixels.
wandColor
Value that specifies the wand color.
rasterOperation
Windows ROP code for display. This parameter takes the same codes as the Windows BitBlt method. For ordinary painting, use SRCCOPY.
progressCallback
Callback method that will be called when the Effect is started to determine the status for the effect.
Remarks

Use this method as a replacement for the Windows BitBlt API method when you want a special painting effect.

Use the grain and delay parameters to control the speed of the display. The grain parameter controls the size of the painting increment, and delay controls the time between increments.

The wand is a solid color bar that moves during an effect. Small grain sizes produce the best wand effects. Many of the effects listed in SpecialEffectsType can have a wand.

Use the pass and maxPass parameters to paint the image in more than one pass. For example, if you want a 3-pass paint, use maxPass of 3 and paint 3 times, once with pass = 1, once with pass = 2, and once with pass = 3.

Multipass painting for the PushClass is disabled.

If the effectType parameter is from the Twirl class, White Turnover class, Turnover class, Replace class, Laser class, Fade Normal class, Fade Black and White class, Fade Color class or Wave Class, the pass and maxPass parameters have no effect.

If the effectType parameter is from the Fade Normal class, Fade Black and White class or Fade Color class, the grain parameter has no effect. However, if the effectType parameter is from the Wave class, the grain parameter contains the wave size.

If the effectType parameter is from the White Turnover class, the Turnover class or the Replace class, the wandWidth and wandColor parameters have no effect. However, if the effectType parameter is from the Fade Color class, the wandColor parameter contains the bitmap color level.

The speed and cycles parameters have effect only if the effectType parameter is from the Wave class.
