)

Parameters

hdc
Handle to a device context where the gradient effect will be displayed.

destRect
Rectangle to be used as the display destination rectangle.

gradientStyle
Gradient style. For possible values refer to SpecialEffectsGradientStyle.

startColor

Example

This Example shows the minimum requirements for using the GradientFillRectangle(Graphics,Rectangle,SpecialEffectsGradientStyle,Color,Color,Int32) method to draw and fill a rectangle with a color gradient.

Imports Leadtools 
Imports Leadtools.Codecs 
Imports Leadtools.SpecialEffects 
Imports Leadtools.Drawing 
 
Public Sub GradientFillRectangle(ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal destRect As Rectangle) 
   Dim processor As SpecialEffectsProcessor = New SpecialEffectsProcessor() 
   processor.GradientFillRectangle(g, destRect, SpecialEffectsGradientStyle.EllipseToC, Color.Red, Color.Blue, 12) 
End Sub

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.SpecialEffects; 
using Leadtools.Drawing; 
 
public void GradientFillRectangle(Graphics g, Rectangle destRect) 
{ 
   SpecialEffectsProcessor processor = new SpecialEffectsProcessor(); 
   processor.GradientFillRectangle(g, destRect, SpecialEffectsGradientStyle.EllipseToC, Color.Red, Color.Blue, 12);
