PushLayer(Geometry) Method

Summary

Adds the specified layer to the surface so that it receives all subsequent drawing operations until PopLayer is called.

Syntax

C++

public bool PushLayer(  
   Geometry geometry 
)

Public Overloads Function PushLayer( _ 
   ByVal geometry As Geometry _ 
) As Boolean

public: 
bool PushLayer(  
   Geometry^ geometry 
)

Parameters

geometry
The content geometric mask for the layer.

Return Value

If this method succeeds, it returns true. Otherwise, it returns false.

Remarks

The PushLayer method allows a caller to begin redirecting drawing to a layer. All drawing operations are valid in a layer. The location of the layer is affected by the transform set on the surface.

Each PushLayer must have a matching PopLayer call. If there are more PopLayer calls than PushLayer calls, the EndDraw return false indicates that an error occurs.

Example

Imports Leadtools.Windows.D2DRendering 
 
Public Sub D2DSurfacePushLayerExample() 
      'Create a new instance of a D2DSurface 
   Dim d2dSurface As D2DSurface = New D2DSurface() 
 
   'Set the surface Size 
   d2dSurface.SurfaceSize = New Size(1000, 1000) 
 
      'Pass an empty rectangle to redraw the whole surface 
   d2dSurface.BeginDraw(System.Windows.Rect.Empty) 
 
   'Save the surface drawing state 
   Dim drawingState As D2DDrawingState = d2dSurface.Save() 
 
      'Create an ellipse geometry 
   Dim ellipse As EllipseGeometry = New EllipseGeometry() 
   ellipse.Center = New Point(500, 500) 
   ellipse.RadiusX = 100 
   ellipse.RadiusY = 100 
 
   Dim geomeTryGroup As GeometryGroup = New GeometryGroup() 
   geomeTryGroup.Children.Add(ellipse) 
 
      'Push the geometry object to receive all subsequent drawing operations  
   d2dSurface.PushLayer(geomeTryGroup) 
 
      'Create a rectangle having the specified dimensions 
   Dim rect As Rect = New Rect(40, 40, 500, 200) 
 
      'Create a new instance of a brush from a new solid color brush 
   Dim fill As SolidColorBrush = New SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green) 
 
      'Clear the pushed Layer with the fill brush 
   d2dSurface.Clear(fill) 
 
      'Stop redirecting drawing operations to the layer 
   d2dSurface.PopLayer() 
 
   'Restore the surface drawing state 
   d2dSurface.Restore(drawingState) 
 
      'End the Draw operation and invalidate the surface 
   d2dSurface.EndDraw() 
 
   d2dSurface.Invalidate(System.Windows.Rect.Empty)
